  • The Boston Celtics (37-15 SU, 26-25-1 ATS) welcome the Phoenix Suns (27-26, 28-25) to TD Garden on Friday as the hosts look to earn their third straight win.

    The Celtics opened as the huge 10-point favorite at home with the total set at 229 points. Boston has won 11 of its last 16 contests against Phoenix with the Celtics also going 9-1 in their last 10 home games, giving the hosts a clear advantage in this matchup. Meanwhile, the UNDER is 4-1 in their last five meetings.

    Latest Betting Notes: Suns

    The Suns dropped their last game as they were routed 132-100 by the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Mikal Bridges (23 points) and Deandre Ayton (20 points) were the top performers for Phoenix while Dejounte Murray (21 points) and Trae Young (20 points, 12 assists) led Atlanta to the win.

    Despite still missing Devin Booker, who’s been sidelined since Christmas with a groin injury, the Suns have managed to string together some victories, winning six of their last eight contests. It’s been a collective effort with six players averaging at least 10 points per game in January, though they clearly missed Booker’s star power as Bridges led the team with just 19.3 points per contest over that span.

    Latest Betting Notes: Celtics

    The Celtics picked up their second straight win on Wednesday as they cruised to a 139-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets. Jayson Tatum led the way with 31 points while Jaylen Brown added 26 for Boston. Kyrie Irving topped Brooklyn with 20 points.

    After going through just their second three-game losing streak of the season last week, the Celtics bounced back with two strong offensive performances, averaging 132 points per game in those victories. It’s been the usual suspects for Boston with Brown and Tatum averaging 31.5 and 30.5 points, respectively, in those two contests.

    The Keys to Victory: Suns

    While the Suns have improved over the last couple of weeks, they’ve really missed Booker offensively, scoring just 107.7 points per game in January – five points less than their season average. Needless to say, they’ll need players like Bridges, Ayton and Cameron Johnson to all have solid nights if they’re going to keep up with the high-scoring Celtics.

    Phoenix does own a top-five defense in the NBA, though, so if they’re able to limit Tatum and Brown, there’s a chance they can slug out a low-scoring win.

    The Keys to Victory: Celtics

    After a few low-scoring losses, the C’s bounced back with two high-scoring wins and look to be right back on track. Tatum and Brown have been producing consistently as always but there’s been more support around them offensively through the last two wins, with Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White putting up some strong performances as well.

    Boston should already be in good shape as Tatum and Brown will likely take care of most of the scoring, but if the rest of the team keeps making shots, it could be a rout.
