The Boston Celtics are on a tour through the West, and are up against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona tonight. These two teams are among the biggest title contenders, and their clash is considered the game of the night.
Before Betting on Celtics vs. Suns
The Cs opened their road trip with back-to-back losses, suffering a narrow defeat in Cleveland against the Cavs, 105-104, and then after that, a failure in Denver, where they met the champs, the Nuggets, 115-109. However, they are still No.1 in the East and confidently hold that spot.
Jaylen Brown scored 41 points in Denver, looking unstoppable, adding 14 boards with that, while shooting 16-for-29 from the field. Kristaps Porzingis had 24 and 12 rebounds, and Jayson Tatum added just 15 buckets with eight assists, having one of the worst games in the last couple of weeks.
The Suns had back-to-back losses at home but bounced back with an OT victory in Colorado against the Nuggets, 117-107, and then beat the Raptors at their Footprint Center in Arizona, 120-113. They are hanging on to the sixth position in the West, the last which leads directly to the playoffs without the need to go through the play-in.
Three of the Suns’ players had 20 or more points, with Kevin Durant leading the way scoring 35 buckets. Grayson Allen added 26 and Bradley Beal had 20. Booker was out due to an injury, and he will be a game-time decision tonight, but right now, his chances of appearing are 50-50.

Even though the Suns play at home and have a superb roster, we aren’t going to bet on them but the Cs. Not only do the guests have a more balanced team, but we are picking them because of the fact that they had two straight losses, and we think that the probability of seeing Boston lose three in a row is pretty small.
