FINNs NBA NON CON TOP of the TICKET I - Boston Celtics -5.5 (-115) } spread position on the Celtics is good to -7 points
3% game rating
Boston has officially removed the injury designation from Tatum and he will dress and start tonight when Boston visits the Pacific Northwest to square off against the Blazers at The Moda. The Boston true-5, Robert Williams, remains out, and while my first instinct was to release this game earlier when the Celtics were a buy-low investment fell into the cautious category that is the responsible fashion to attack matchups this time of the season figures to grow as the afternoon wears on. The number in this contest is good with Boston -7 or fewer.
If the Blazers were to announce that Lillard was to be inactive then you can expect the handicap to close closer to 10 than 7 points. Defensively this Portland troupe is atrocious. Without Lillard, the Blazers' offensive net falls over 6 points per 100 possessions.
Portland has allowed 124.5 points per 100 possessions in the non-garbage time since the first of February, 20-plus games. While the designation on Lillard is probable tonight the last time he wore the probable label he didn't dress for the game.
