In their recent games, the Celtics secured a victory against the Chicago Bulls but suffered a loss to the Houston Rockets. Looking ahead, they are scheduled to face the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Mavericks. Notably, the Celtics have struggled to cover the spread in each of their last nine night games following a home win. However, they have covered the spread in five of their last six road games against Southwest Division opponents.

 

New Orleans Pelicans

 

The Pelicans recently faced defeats against the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks. Their upcoming games include matchups against the Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, and Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pelicans have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games. However, they have covered the spread in three of their last four games against the Celtics following a home loss.

Prediction and Betting Insights

 

The Boston Celtics are favored in this matchup, given their superior season performance and the Pelicans’ injury challenges. However, the Celtics have struggled to cover large spreads this season, holding a 19-28-1 record against the spread (ATS). They are 8-11 ATS in their last 19 games as double-digit favorites. The Pelicans, despite their struggles, have seen eight of their 12 wins come at home. In their previous meeting earlier this month, the Pelicans narrowly lost by one point as double-digit underdogs.
