FanDuel. Cam Johnson should be in position to knock down a couple threes today. The Celtics allow the second highest frequency of catch and shoot three pointers, and I expect them to converge on the Jamal Murray/Nikola Jokic primary action tonight. Johnson, who is shooting 47% from deep at home, has cleared this line in 14 of 21 games with both Murray and Jokic active, but without the injured Aaron Gordon. Playable to -155 (or 0.5 units on 2.5).

Not a quitter. College basketball don't mind getting crushed because teenagers. The NBA? Will say I have stayed away from some props and other things due to the blatant tanking. It's the worst I've ever seen and can't really get a grasp. Essentially leaves you with 2 legit games on an typical night -- can't find value. At least both try here. Boston rested Jaylen Brown last night; MJ would have strangled someone asking him to do so. That's my work ethic. Every other key C's player saw fairly heavy minutes. It's the end of a trip at altitude. Who covers Nikola Jokic: Neemias Queta? Think even Mrs. Queta faded her husband tonight. And I know how bad former Bull Nikola Vucevic is on defense.

The Celtics have got a good thing going at 38-19 on the season, and they've won and covered four straight games. They've been doing it by controlling the pace, keeping games under the total. They've stayed under 36 times this season. The Nuggets have been in a free fall, losing 6 of their last 9 games, but the Nuggets aren’t going to lay down playing the Celtics' style. Denver is going to play Nuggets-style basketball, which is fast and gets over the total like they have the last three games and 37 times this season. Celtics may win or cover, but I think the game goes over.

Cam Johnson went 0 for 4 from deep and finished with nine points in Denver's loss to the Warriors on Sunday. But he started and played 38 minutes. It was the first time since Nov. 12 that the sharpshooter (41.7 percent on 3-pointers this season) failed to make a 3-pointer. The Celtics are playing their third road game in four nights. Look for Johnson to take advantage of a tired defense and clear this prop total for the third time in his last four games.

Payton Pritchard has come off the bench in eight straight games for the Celtics. During that span, Derrick White recorded at least eight assists in a game six times. The only times he didn’t hit the over on this number during that stretch were a five-assist game against the Heat and a four-assist outing against the Knicks. White also averages 6.3 assists per game on the road for the season, making this over even more appealing.
