The set-up: Toronto has lost three of its last four. This is its final game before the all star break. The Raptors are dealing with a major COVID outbreak and I think they're just going to go through the motions today here as they look to get some rest and return healthy after. Throw the seasonal offensive and defensvie out the window for the visiting side, this pick for me is based upon the situation.

The pick: The Celtics will look to control the pace of this one vs. the undermanned Raptors, who lost 129-105 at home to the Pistons just last night. Finally note that Boston has seen the total dip under the number in five of its last six home games after posting three or more SU home victories in a row. This number is a little high.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Raptors/Celtics.
