Only 3 teams have beaten Boston at TD Garden this season, the Phoenix Suns will be hoping to join that list just 5 days after losing to the Celtics at home. In between these two games the Suns were able to beat a solid Cavaliers team on the road, behind 37 points by Kevin Durant. KD also lit up the scoring vs Boston on Saturday with 45 points, but unfortunately for him a one man show cannot beat these Celtics. Devin Booker is finally back in the line-up after missing a few games with an injury, once upon a time he dropped 70 points in this building, perhaps he can work some of his magic here? The Suns are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs Boston, plus they’ve covered in 9 of their last 14 visits to TD Garden.
The Cs aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. They’re once again on a 3-game win streak and return home from a 5-game road trip here. Head coach Joe Mazzulla used the last 2 games to experiment a bit with his rotation, resting some key names. That should do the Celtics well in the long run, for tonight’s game Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out while Jaylen Brown is questionable with a back issue. Not having Brown hasn’t had a major difference in outcome of games this year, Boston is a perfect 6-0 SU without their 2nd best player. The three-ball has been a particular highlight over the last 3 games with the Celtics hitting on 20, 15 and 15 shots on solid efficiency. They’re riding a 7-game win streak in home games, plus against teams from the West they’ve covered in 6 of 7 games.
