Boston Phoenix Betting Preview

In their last matchup, which came on the second night of a back-to-back with several key players missing, the Celtics dominated a tough Raptors team, beating them on the second night of a back-to-back. A tough matchup awaits them in Phoenix, but Boston's dominance is hard to beat.

Boston seems to be on a different level than the Suns right now in this game between two of the league’s best teams. Boston has been scoring at both ends of the floor, but their offense has been almost unstoppable. The Celtics rank 1st in points per game with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown leading the way, but their role players have thrived as well. As a team struggling on defense lately, this poses a huge challenge. Despite the fact that they don't have the same firepower as the Celtics at the moment, the Suns will have to rely on their offense led by Devin Booker to keep up in this game. Chris Paul's absence is an important factor in their success, since his leadership and ability to drive the Suns offense make him a key component of their success.
