Boston Celtics at Phoenix Suns Betting Preview

img/news/NBA-Featured-Image-GOM.jpg

Injuries are piling up for both of these NBA titans.

With a record of 20-5 this season, the Boston Celtics currently sit atop the Eastern Conference. They have a two-game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks, who are currently 17-6.

To keep their lead over the Bucks, they’ll need to continue winning games and it starts with this one against the Phoenix Suns.

The problem is, beating the Phoenix Suns won’t be easy, especially with Devin Booker on the court but the Celtics won’t have to worry about Chris Paul.

See, the injuries are piling up for both of these teams as the Celtics will be without starting center Robert Williams III again.

They’ll have to rely on Jayson Tatum, who currently leads the team with an average of 30.8 points per game this season. The Celtics themselves are averaging 120.6 points per game.

As the league-leading offense, the Boston Celtics are also one of the best when it comes to field-goal percentage, shooting 49.4% this season.

The Phoenix Suns are another high-scoring team, averaging 116.5 points per game. The only problem is they’re continuing to add players to the injury list.

Right now, not only is Chris Paul sidelined but Duane Washington Jr. and Torrey Craig are as well. Depth is going to be a problem if the Suns can’t get healthy and get a few of these players back.

Phoenix is also coming off a 130-111 loss to the Dallas Mavericks a few nights ago. With morale slightly lowered in Phoenix, the better pick here is the Boston Celtics.

Boston is also only favored by two points, so it’s a very small spread.

Ricky’s Pick: Boston Celtics -2, UNDER
