In a crowded NBA slate of games, Luka Dončić and the Boston Celtics each provide plenty of solid value.
Doncic is capable of filling the stat sheet as well as anyone, and he is coming off a 34-point, 12-rebound, and 12-assist triple-double last night against the Lakers. He is fifth in the NBA in scoring this year at 28.0 points per game, and is already top-10 all-time in triple-doubles with 46 . I’ll take as many Doncic props as I can find tonight.The Celtics and the Heat square off in a battle between two of the three best teams in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat have been stumbling all over themselves lately. They’ve dropped four of their last five games, including an eight-point loss to the Knicks last Friday. Fortunately for Miami, they had a get-right game against the Sacramento Kings on Monday, beating them 123-100. Still, Miami is searching for answers when playing against good teams, and they’re 1-7 against the spread in their last eight contests.
For as poor as Miami has been, Boston has been that much better. The Celtics have won six of their last seven games, and are 6-1 against the spread over the same span. They rank third in scoring over their last seven games, pouring in 123.3 points per game. Miami is way down the list at 23rd over the same span, averaging 108.0. Add in the fact that this is a Boston home game, and the Celtics are poised to flex their muscles.
