The Boston Celtics has been off since Friday and now they come into the game well rested and holding the chalk in the NBA odds. Doc River’s crew is favored by 5.5 points as of now, while the total has settled at 183.5 after dropping from an opening number of 184.5.

Celtics Targets Redemption

The Celtics witnessed their four-game winning streak be broken last week at home to the Pacers in their most recent battle. They put in their worst offensive performance of the young season in a disappointing 74-78 defeat.

Out-rebounded by 11, Boston had no answer inside in the loss. Ray Allen notched 23 points but Paul Pierce really struggled, hitting only 3 out of 17 shots for 10 points, while also turning it over a game-high five times.

The Dallas Mavericks are on the rebound after starting off slow, having won four of their last five games ahead of tonight's tipoff. The Mavs had no problems dispatching the Pistons last night in a 100-86 victory in Detroit.

Leading the way was Nowitzki with 18 points and seven boards and Shawn Maron, Vince Carter and Ian Mahinmi scored in double figure as well in the romp.

The Sportsbooks like the idea that the Celtics are going to sprint past the Mavericks for the sole reason of being a well rested team and for the fact that the Mavericks are on the backend of a back-to-back.

The Mavericks will Cover

The edge in bench play may also be in the Mav’s favor aside from having Brandon Bass’s inspired play for Boston.

We all know what Jason Terry delivers to the table as the sixth man, but Dallas is getting solid minutes out of Lamar Odom, Ian Mahinmi and Rodrique Beaubois as well.

Don’t be too quick with the “time off” theory since the Celtics has really struggled against strong competition this season. Their four wins were reaped from the Washington twice, Detroit and New Jersey which is considerably hardly sterling feat.

Your free NBA picks for today will go to the Dallas Mavericks who will definitely block the Boston Celtics road to redemption.
