See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.
The Boston Celtics are in a prime spot to cover the -16.5 spread at home, where they’ve consistently dominated opponents with elite efficiency on both ends. Motivation is a major factor, as Boston needs this win to lock up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, ensuring full focus and intensity.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are clearly in tank mode, resting most of their key starters and prioritizing draft positioning. That talent gap, combined with Boston’s urgency, should lead to a comfortable, high-margin victory tonight.
