Jrue, Brown, and Porzingis all missed multiple days recently but Celtics are back to nearly full health now. Did you know the last 25 games of last season… when Tatum shared the floor with all 3 of those guys he only went over in 8/25? He’s averaging less than 21PPG in his last 3 vs Denver too. In his most recent interview he talked about how he doesn’t like missing away games in the West because of all the people that show up just to see him, and then the NBA added stats on how exceptional he’s been on the road this season… but they’ve all been road games against the EAST… I looked deeper and realized his road games in the west “he shows up” as in he literally just logs minutes because he stayed way under in 8 of his last 12 away games out west. A lot of teams flip the script in the New Year and for the Celtics it will be Tatum being a facilitator and taking a back seat as a scorer tonight. It’s buckets

BOS Celtics -4.5 (-110 @ BetMGM) Got some nice overnight CLV on this with the line up to -6 now. Just as I thought OKC would be a letdown spot for BOS, this looks like a strong rebound spot for them. The Celtics are 7-2 this season ATS coming off a loss. They are a team that bounces back well, especially after a big loss to a championship contender. This DEN team isn't as good this season and will be missing Gordon, which is a big deal. Gordon gives them a good interior presence that Jolic lacks as a defender inside. Meanwhile, BOS is fully healthy. As we know, Celtics are a big 3-point shooting team. DEN is allowing the 8th most threes per game this season and 10th highest 3-point %. A lot of like here for a good Celtics team on both sides of the ball.
