Tonight presents one of the top peak spots to go against a team in the Houston Rockets. Houston is coming off consecutive wins over the top team in the NBA in the Cleveland Cavaliers. In those wins they had issues in the fourth quarter. Gave up 47 points in Saturday’s fourth quarter, and the prior game scored just 15 in the fourth. Boston is also 3-0 when facing their former Coach Ime Udoka, including a 109-86 victory this season. Lay it with Boston.

Jrue Holiday broke his slump. He gave us 7 straight unders before breaking out with 21 at DAL in their last game. Holiday could also see more minutes today with Derrick White a GTD. This is a bet on minutes: When he plays 31 to 35 minutes the over is 32-14 the last 2 seasons. The Celtics either get out fast and he is productive as a starter or Houston keeps it tight and he stays in for his defense.

FanDuel. Amen Thompson has cleared this line in 9 of his last 13 games. I know an over against the Celtics can be scary, but I do like this spot as the Celtics actually do allow the 7th most rebounds per game, but the fourth fewest to opposing centers. Why? Because they shoot a ton of threes (most in the NBA by a wide margin) - three pointers miss at a higher rate, and typically yield longer rebounds. Thompson, one of the best rebounding wings in the NBA, should dominate the boards for Houston.
