Match, Team, and Player Insights

Match Context

This is a fixture that is draped in history as these two teams have met a total over 137 times over the years. They first met in 1968 and over the years Boston has 77 wins compared to the Suns’ 60 victories. This season they both come into this game with very different agendas. The Suns are simply trying to push themselves into a playoff berth and a win here would do that. For the Celtics is all about closing the gap between themselves and the Cavaliers for top spot in the East. Let’s take a look at the latest team trends before we offer our NBA predictions on the game.

Team Performance Trends

• • Sharp Shooting Suns: Phoenix has the fifth best field goal percentage in the NBA this season. So if they see enough of the ball they have the game to trouble anyone.
  • Boston Pass the West Test: The Celtics have won their last eight games against teams in the Western Conference.

• Bookmakers Struggle to Cap Suns: The bookmakers have struggled to handicap the Suns as of late. That’s because Phoenix has won eight of their last 10 against the spread. 

• Suns Rising in the East: Phoenix has done well against teams from the East recently, winning six of their last seven against them.

Key Player Matchups

• Devin Booker vs. Kristaps Porzingus: These two aren’t likely to match up against each other often throughout the game, however, they’re both integral to their teams success. Despite losing to the Celtics, Devin Booker top scored against them when they last met and he was a thorn in their side the entire night. Porzingus has been the highest scorer on his last three starts for the Celtics, which proves how important he is for them at present. However, he’s been battling an illness as of late. While he is expected to start here, you have to wonder if he will be 100%
