Why should the Celtics be your NBA Betting Pick?
Not only are the Celtics and Raptors going head to head for the Eastern Conference, there is also the business of the Atlantic Division crown to take care of. The Celtics have been at the top of the conference almost since day one this season and are showing very little sign of slowing down. They did hit a little bit of a slump recently but appear to be breaking out of it by winning each of their last 4 games. The Celtics are a very balanced team, but it is on defense where they truly shine. Boston is the only team in the NBA who are giving up less than 100 PPG. They are down near the bottom in scoring but don’t often need to turn on the offensive power when they are so readily able to shut their opponents down. The Celtics are 9-2 against division foes, which includes a win over Toronto in their last meeting. They are also 18-7 SU on the road this season.Team Statistics

Why should the Raptors be your NBA Betting Pick?
While the Raptors have been the only team able to keep pace with the Celtics this season, they have done so by using a different approach than Boston. Toronto is a team built on offense and is top 3 in the NBA with 111.3 PPG. They come into this one on the strength of back to back wins, not to mention 7 wins in their last 10 outings.
They have not performed as well as Boston against divisional opponents, going 6-3 in their 9 games, but they have been dominant in conference play, where they are 20-7. Where the Raptors have really shined is in their play at home, where they have only dropped 4 games all season long. They only lost by a single point in their last meeting with the Celtics in Boston, and you need to like their chances of getting revenge on home court.
