Point Spread Pick for Celtics vs. Suns
- Boston Celtics to cover (4 Units)
The Celtics have won four straight road games, while the Suns have lost four of their last six home games. Boston has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 118 points per game in their last three games, while making over 50 percent of their shots. The Suns haven’t been as good, scoring less than 95 points per game in their last three games, while barely making over 35 percent of their shots. Boston’s ball movement has been very good, and they also rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 11 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They don’t turn the ball over much on the road, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Suns aren’t very good defensively, giving up more than 111 points per game, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Celtics. Take Boston to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Celtics vs. Suns
- Under (4 Units)
The Celtics played under the total in four of their last six games, while the Suns played under the total in two of their last three games. Boston averages 116.4 points per game on the road.

They play at the 23rd-fastest pace in the league, averaging 101.8 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 101.3 points per game in their last three games. Don't expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Celtics and Suns played under the total in four of their last six meetings.
