SCORE: 4
My model favors the Celtics. Jayson Tatums’ 60 points willed the team to a victory two days ago. Even though they lost the ATS, they pulled out a win from a 30 point deficit in the first half. Portland has been on a 3 game win streak, but this is their 4th road game. I think fatigue can be an issue here. I now know why the Celtics puzzle me. The Celtics need to build this team around Tatum, yea they play better when the ball moves and less iso-play but Tatum is the star, and if they want to maximize talent then an Allen Iverson model is the route. When the spread is this tight and i think it will be a close scoring game, the Celtics ML is better value.
