The Houston Rockets slumped and are currently showing no improvement whatsoever. In fact, their problems have been present throughout the campaign, so it is no coincidence that they have the second-highest number of defeats in the season. Thanks to this same record, they are in last place in the Western Conference.
Prior to playing the Celtics, they must play the Chicago Bulls in an effort to break their losing streak and give themselves a chance against the season’s top club.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Season record: 24-10
- DraftKings Spread: [To be determined]
- DraftKings Moneyline: [To be determined]
- DraftKings Over/Under: [To be determined]
The Boston Celtics have been a class act so far this season and are the top team with a 24-10 record after 34 games played. They lead the Eastern Conference, where they have proven to be a points machine, registering 4036 points scored.
They had a hard patch a few days ago, as they lost twice to the Indiana Pacers and once to the Orlando Magic, but those defeats are now in the past: they have won their last two games against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Beating the Rockets doesn’t seem to be a difficult assignment (on paper) after defeating the Bucks by a score of 139-118.
JefeBet Prediction
Based on their victories in the last two meetings between these two teams this season, the Boston Celtics are the betting favorite to win this game. Boston has also won both of its recent home games, and with the Rockets playing at a very low level, there is little chance that they won’t add one more victory.
Prediction: Boston Celtics win by 10 points.
