The Celtics head back home to Boston looking to bounce back from a frustrating loss to the Rockets on Tuesday.
Jayson Tatum stormed off the court and took his frustrations out on some hand sanitizer, so this could be a rough night if you’re a Bucks fan with Tatum playing every bit like an MVP contender to start the season.
Boston was dominated by Alperen Sengun down low, also shooting a measly 28% from three.
It was a rare off night from Payton Pritchard, so all signs point toward the Celtics looking to make a statement here against one of the worst teams in the East.
- Prediction: Celtics to Cover (-11.5 Points) @ $1.90
Player Pick
Shooting the ball should come much easier for Boston with the Bucks giving up a tick over 124 points to opponents – the third-highest in the league this year.
To their credit, Milwaukee has defended the three-ball reasonably well, but they’ve still allowed teams to shoot 47% from the field.
Tatum is the obvious pick to score big points, but it could be a profitable night to play on Paul George, who was rested on Tuesday in the second game of a back to back.
- Prediction: Paul George 20+ Points
The Pacers have fallen away drastically since Tyrese Haliburton went down with a hamstring injury, losing five straight games to the Bucks, Sixers, Heat, Nets, and Hawks.
Obi Toppen and Ivica Zubac’s absence hasn’t helped matters as they now prepare for a buzzsaw Grizzlies team that was just handed its first loss two days ago to the Pelicans.
Rebounding should be a forefront of this game with the Grizzlies crashing the boards hard to sit toward the top of the league, while the Pacers have struggled to defend the glass over the first few weeks.
With Cam Boozer on fire and the Grizzlies living up to their preseason hype, the current line on offer is probably generous all things considered.
- Prediction: Grizzlies to Cover (-6.5 Points) @ $1.90
The Raptors snapped their losing skid with a win over the Clippers on Tuesday, but gee it was hardly convincing.
Toronto trailed by double digits and had to claw their way back late in the fourth quarter, led by some late Scottie Barnes brilliance.
Wide open threes have killed the Raptors over their last three or four games, and they might just meet their match again on Thursday against a Nuggets side that holds the eighth-hightest three-point shooting percentage in the league.
- Prediction: Nuggets to Cover (-4.5 Points) @ $1.90
Player Pick
Jamal Murray has been playing big minutes to start the year, averaging a team-high 38.3 to start the season.
He’s been Denver’s most consistent three-point shooter as well, shooting just over 51% from beyond the arc.
- Prediction: Jamal Murray 4+ Made Threes
