The Boston Celtics will host one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, the Portland Trail Blazers, at TD Garden on Wednesday. The Celtics snapped their two-game slide with a statement win over the Denver Nuggets, 110-103, on March 2. Jaylen Brown’s 22 points spearheaded a balanced attack for Boston, who had four of their five starters scoring at least 16 points. The Celtics were awarded 27 trips from the charity strip, converting 22 or 81.5 percent free-throw percentage. Meanwhile, the 28-34 Blazers have won five of their last six games to keep them in contention for a play-in spot in the West. Anfernee Simmons has emerged as the heart and soul of Portland’s offense this season. In the last 10 games, the shifty guard averaged 21.6 points per game on 42.7 percent FG shooting. He dropped 34 points on 50 percent field goal clip in the Blazers’ recent win over the Sixers, 119-102, on March 3.

Our Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

I am high on the Blazers covering the double-digit spread for Wednesday’s showdown vs. the Celtics. There’s no denying Boston is still a championship contender with all the weapons at their disposal. But the Celtics are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games, and four of their five starters are dealing with some kind of injury right now. Meanwhile, the Blazers are flying and looking more like a playoff contender because of their recent play. They have been a strong bet to cover the spread over the past 2-3 weeks, going 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. The bottom line is this won’t be a walk-in-the-park matchup for Boston. Our betting prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Boston Celtics: Blazers to cover +10.5 points.

Prediction:

 

Blazers will cover +10.5 points
