I don't like laying points on the road, but every which way I look I feel confident with Boston at Dallas tonight. The Celtics are in a groove, riding a 15-game win streak, and have covered their last four and gone 14-2 -1 this season, including 8-1 ATS on the road. Dallas has covered only five times in 17 games and its 42.4 shooting percentage is second worst in the NBA and figures to drop against the NBA's best defense. Boston allows just 94 ppg. One other note: Boston is 12-0-1 ATS when having one day of rest like the case is tonight. Celtics keep rolling and get the cover.

All the Celtics do is win and cover. They come into this one at 14-2-1 against the number this season. Lay the points, as Boston is covering 63 percent of my simulations.
