The Boston Celtics took a beating by the Lakers here at Staples Center last night, but I think they'll do better here against the Clippers the following night. Playing on back-to-back nights has not affected the Celtics who are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Clippers are in a potential flat spot, coming off a 102-90 triumph at Portland. They are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite.

8* play on Boston Celtics.
