This will be the second meeting between the Phoenix Suns and the Boston Celtics in 2026. The first meeting between these teams combined for just 178 points. The hosts in this one have seen 3 of their last 4 games come in under the combined 214-point mark. The recent history between these sides would suggest another low scoring encounter. Dillon Brooks remains out for the Suns and considering that he has been one of the teams leading scorers this season, it could really limit their offensive potential. The Celtics have been 5th in defensive rating over the last 10 games and will be well positioned to slow down their opponents.

Over the last 10 games these teams have ranked 29th and 30th in pace, respectively. As a result, expect this game to be played at a crawl. The Celtics themselves are also dead last in fast break point per game. With both teams outside of the top half of the NBA in true shooting percentage during that stretch, they are not well positioned to take advantage of the more limited opportunities. The hosts have strong wing defenders with the likes of Derrick White who can really impact Devin Booker. Expect a low scoring contest here as a result.

Suns vs Celtics prediction: Under 214 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to under 212.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
