Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com have made the Celtics 1-point road favorites over the Spurs on Thursday night. The over/under total for this game is currently 186 points.
The Celtics come into tonight’s game with a 51-22 overall record and are 22-14 on the road this season. According to latest NBA trends, they’re 33-38-2 against the spread and 17-19 ATS on the road.
The Spurs are 57-17 and 41-31-2 against the spread but haven’t won since Tim Duncan went down with an ankle injury. They’re 33-4 at the AT&T Center but just 17-19-1 against the spread.
NBA Free Pick: The Spurs will notch a victory at some point without Duncan, but victory might not come tonight when they take on a Celtics team that has had their number over the years. Boston has won six of the last eight meetings between the two teams, including a 105-103 victory in January when Ray Allen scored 31 points. The C’s are also 4-0 against the spread in their last four meetings in San Antonio and the road team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings between these two teams. Without Duncan, the Spurs will likely struggle again, even on their home court.
