BOS Celtics -3.5(-110)
Reasoning
The Toronto Raptors continue their 5-game homestand on Sunday afternoon when they host the visiting Boston Celtics, who will take a trip to Toronto and won’t play again until December 11 when they travel to Milwaukee. The Raptors have played well to this point of the season, boasting a 15-9 record, but have seemingly hit a bump in the road with losses in 4 of their last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Celtics have been playing some of their better basketball of late and are on a 9-2 stretch dating back to November 12. Boston has wins in each of their last 4 games, including wins over the Cavaliers, Knicks, and Lakers, and they’ve managed to cover the spread in 7 consecutive games. On the other end, the Raptors have failed to cover in 6 straight games.
Strictly playing the trend, the Celtics appear to be the play this afternoon. Not only are they playing better than the Raptors at the moment, but they are the healthier team coming into this game. RJ Barrett has been unavailable with a right knee sprain since November 24, and the Raptors have gone just 3-4 in his absence. Toronto is not quite as deep as the Celtics, who can get solid minutes off the bench from Anfernee Simons, who is averaging 13.4 ppg. The Raptors don’t have that scoring option off the bench and have been far too reliant on their starting 5. Lets back the deeper team going up against a reeling Toronto team.
