BookMaker
has the Boston Celtics listed as 6.5-point favorites at home against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday evening. The teams are 5-5 in the last ten while Boston has won two of the last three meetings. The teams are 5-5 ATS in the last ten while the Clippers have covered the spread in two of the last three games in the series. The Los Angeles Clippers are 24-19 ATS overall, 10-10 ATS on the road, and 1-6 ATS as an underdog this season while the Boston Celtics are 23-20-2 ATS overall, 13-8 ATS at home, and 22-19-2 ATS as a favorite on the year.
Boston enters this game with a better record and has been the better team most recently in the series, winning two of the last three meetings. However, the Clippers have been the better team at covering the spread most recently in the series, going 2-1 ATS in the last three matchups, and have been the slightly better team at covering the spread this season with a record of 24-19 ATS overall while the Celtics are 23-20-2 ATS overall which is why I am buying the .5 point and taking the points with the Clippers when they travel to face the Boston Celtics on Saturday evening.
