The Boston Celtics met 2 days after Christmas in Houston with the Rockets winning that game 127-113. Now both teams really have not been bettors friends recently but the Rockets have been a bad bad virtually all season which is not something new just look at the Golden State Warriors. Most times the best teams are the worst to bet on.
Celtics finally got on track last time out with a win over the Washington Wizards at home but the Celtics are just 4-6 SU in their last 10 games and come into this game with a ton of motivation as the Celtics need to win and win now if they have any hope of catching the top 4 teams.

Playing on the road to start the playoffs is not where Boston envisioned themselves when the season started but this Boston team has suffered from terrible team chemistry. James Harden will be key to Boston winning and covering this game as he is averaging 36.6 points per game this season and when him and Paul are on it's a tough night.
Boston will lean on Kyrie Irving in this one the veteran is averaging 23.4 points per game with 6.9 assists and 4.9 rebounds and is the leader on this sometimes fractured team. Marcus Morris has stepped up in the locker room and has been voice to get this team back on the winning track.

Look for Boston Celtics players to really come and play as this game will be a national T.V. ESPN game and I expect that Boston crowd to be on fire and loud. I don't believe Houston Rockets players Eric Gordon or Iman Shumpert are 100% healthy look for the Celtics to be fresher and hungrier and win on both sides of the ball. Bet the Celtics here as Boston runs away with this game 117-105
