Key Matchup to Watch 

The matchup between Stephen Curry and the Rockets' defense will be crucial. Curry is off to another elite scoring season, despite a slightly erratic shooting season. He remains a significant threat in every game and the Rockets will likely rely on their gritty defenders like Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson to try and contain him. I do not see this happening and look for Curry to have another big game against the Rockets. 

The Warriors have won the last 15 games against the Rockets and are 12-3 ATS in those wins. This trend has no value to any handicap or predictive model, but it is worth nothing given the historic stretch of wins by the Warriors over the same opponent.

The Boston Celtics are looking to extend their five-game win streak as they host the Los Angeles Clippers at TD Garden. The Clippers, on a five-game win streak themselves, are coming off a dominant 125-99 victory over the pathetic Philadelphia 76ers. 

The Celtics have been impressive this season, boasting the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. They average 119.9 points per game and shoot 45.8% from the field1. However, they have struggled against the spread, covering in just seven of their 17 games. That fact has served to reduce the Celtic’s price tag in the marketplace and we are getting great value to be the Celtics tonight. Remember, just because there is value in a bet does not guarantee an ATS winner.
