Pick: Boston Celtics -11.5

The Celtics are heavily favored with a spread of -11.5. Boston is 30-35 against the spread this season, hitting 70% of the time.

Given the Celtics' strong record and Porzingis's return, betting on the Celtics to cover the spread is a solid pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

Cam Johnson Over 18.5 Points

With Cam Thomas out for the season, Cameron Johnson should see an increase in his offensive opportunities. When Thomas is off the floor, Johnson's scoring rises from 26.8 points per 100 possessions to 31.7. He has exceeded this line in 52% of games this season without Thomas, averaging 23.4 Points + Assists.

Kristaps Porzingis Over 20.5 Points

Kristaps Porzingis is coming off a game where he scored 24 points against the Nets. He played 32 minutes, including the entire fourth quarter, and led the team with 14 points in that quarter. With Porzingis back in the lineup, he should be a key offensive contributor for the Celtics.

Derrick White Over 16.5 Points

Derrick White is having a career year, averaging 16.7 points per game. Erik Spoelstra called White the most underrated player in the league. White is putting up career numbers in the 2024-25 season, scoring 16.7 points and securing 4.3 rebounds per game with an average of 33.8 minutes per contest. All three are career highs.
