Featured game: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics
The inter-conference showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Boston Celtics is certainly the most interesting matchup of the day. These two teams will meet each other for the second time this season, and the Celtics outlast the Thunder 101-95 as 1-point road favorites in Week 2. The Celtics opened as 3-point favorites on this one with the total at 227.0 points and the Thunder at +130 money line odds, while 55.0% of wagers are on the hosts to cover. Boston has won the last three head-to-head duels, but Oklahoma City is 6-4 straight up and 4-6 ATS in the previous ten H2H matchups.
The Thunder (33-18; 29-22 ATS) has been playing very well lately, riding a seven-game winning streak following a 118-102 victory at Miami this past Friday, and covering the spread six time during that span. Oklahoma City has won four consecutive games on the road and is 6-2 straight up and ATS in its previous eight showings away from home. Also, the Thunder is 7-1 straight up and ATS in its last eight games when listed as an underdog, and is 8-2 straight up and 7-3 ATS in the previous ten road meetings with the Eastern Conference.
On the other side, the Boston Celtics (33-19; 27-25 ATS) are coming off a 113-99 road win at the New York Knicks to record their third straight victory. The Celtics are 8-1 straight up and 5-4 ATS in their last nine games overall, and are 12-1 straight up and 9-4 ATS in their previous 13 outings on the home court. Also, the Celtics are 6-3 straight up and 4-5 ATS in their last nine home encounters with the Western Conference, and are 8-0 straight up and 5-3 ATS in their last eight matchups when listed as favorites.
Memphis Grizzlies vs. New York Knicks
While the Memphis Grizzlies (20-33; 22-30-1 ATS) are still looking to make some moves before the trade deadline, the New York Knicks (10-41; 22-26-3 ATS) have already done it. Also, the Grizzlies are one of the rare teams that New York has beaten this season. The Knicks have overcome the Grizzlies 103-98 as 8-point underdogs and will be 2.5-point dogs on this one with the total at 203.5 points and the Grizzlies at -145 money line odds. The Knicks are 3-2 straight up and ATS in their last five meetings with Memphis, and are 2-3 straight up and 2-2-1 ATS in the last five H2H duels at Madison Square Garden.
After a strong start on the season, the Grizzlies have been tanking lately, while the Knicks are doing it all season long. Memphis is 3-17 straight up and 5-14-1 ATS in its last 20 games overall and is 0-9 straight up and 2-6-1 ATS in its previous nine games on the road. Also, the Grizzlies are 0-5 straight up and 1-3-1 ATS in their previous five road meetings with the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are 1-19 straight up and 7-12-1 ATS in their last 20 games overall, and are 0-13 straight up and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 showings on the home court, while the Knicks are 1-4 straight up and 2-3 ATS in their previous five home meetings with the Western Conference.
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Toronto Raptors
The Los Angeles Clippers (29-24; 29-24 ATS) are coming off a 111-101 victory at the Detroit Pistons last night to keep their No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. The Clippers were trailing by 25 points, but they made a superb comeback in the second half to comfortably beat the hapless Pistons. They are 5-3 straight up and ATS in the last eight games overall, and are 4-1 straight up and ATS in their previous five games on the road, while the Clippers are just 1-4 straight up and 2-3 ATS on the second day of their last five back-to-back sets. On the other side, the Toronto Raptors (37-16; 22-30-1 ATS) are coming off a 105-92 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks this past Thursday. They are 1-3 straight up and ATS in the last four games overall, and are 10-1 straight up and 6-5 ATS in their previous 11 showings on the home court.
The Raptors opened as 10.5-point favorites on this one with the total at 229.5 points and the Clippers at +475 money line odds. The Raptors are 6-3 straight up and 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Clippers including a 123-99 victory at Staples Center earlier this season, while the Raptors are 3-1 straight up and ATS in the last four H2H duels in Canada.
