Forbes' Same-Game Parlay
"Tonight, we have built another four-leg same-game parlay based on our expectations for the matchup between the Celtics and Suns:
- Phoenix Suns Moneyline (+105)
- Jayson Tatum Under 29.5 Points (-135)
- Jayson Tatum Over 8.5 Rebounds (+105)
- Al Horford 2+ Assists (-265)
"As mentioned above, we expect Phoenix to secure a narrow home win over Boston. The Suns have been impressive at home and should contain Tatum just enough to squeak by."
Covers.com's Spread Analysis
"Cameron Payne has filled in at PG for Paul, and an increase in minutes has helped him realize career-highs in points per game (13), assists per game (5.8), and 3-pointers made (1.9). Payne should ensure that the Suns offense — seventh in the NBA by points per game (116.5) — operates smoothly against the Celtics’ 13th-ranked defense (112.6 points allowed per game).
"Meanwhile, Boston has been highly reliant on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown this season, with the tandem combining for 47.7% of their club’s points per night. The two young stars are likely good for at least 20 points apiece in this contest, but that won’t be nearly good enough against a well-rounded Phoenix team. Roll with the Suns all the way up to the “pick ’em” range.
"My best bet: Suns +2.5 (-114 at FanDuel)"
