Clippers at Celtics – The Big Ticket is Almost Back

The Los Angeles Clippers (17-53 SU, 28-42 ATS, 40-28-2 O/U) lost their second consecutive game on Sunday, getting routed by the Toronto Raptors 100-76 on Sunday while failing to cover the spread in the BetOnline Sportsbook as 4.5-point road underdogs while the game played Under the 210.5-point O.U total.

Talented but enigmatic veteran forward Zach Randolph led the Clippers with 20 points in the loss.

The Boston Celtics (53-18 SU, 36-35 ATS, 34-36-1 O/U) won their third consecutive game on Saturday, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 105-87 to cover the spread for BetOnline NBA betting members as an 8-point road favorite as predicted in the BetOnline Locker Room on Saturday’s NBA 4-Pack.

Blossoming reserve forward Glen Davis scored a team-high 24 points while all-star shooting guard Ray Allen added 20 points as the final score played Over the posted O/U total (191.5).

Boston Celtics -15½ -110

Over 199 -110

Under 199 -110

Analysis: With the Boston Celtics getting healthier by the moment – and the Clippers getting blown out in three straight losses, I like the Celtics to pick up their first resounding victory in quite some time with an all-out assault on the lowly Clippers at home tonight.

I’m also thinking the Celtics will keep this O/U total Under the spread against the offensively-challenged Clippers with a solid defensive effort tonight as reigning Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett sees a bit more playing time in his third game back from injury.
