The Boston Celtics look for a fourth straight victory on Thursday, but the visiting Los Angeles Clippers will try to steal one on the road with a fully healthy roster. Check out our top Clippers-Celtics NBA pick based on the latest odds.
After losing three straight at home, the Celtics have bounced back masterfully by reeling off three consecutive victories. Over the recent win streak, Boston has beaten opponents by an average of 19 points per contest. Jayson Tatum has averaged 36.3 points in t hat span, while Jaylen Brown has averaged 34.7. The dynamic duo have kept things rolling on offense while Al Horford and Robert Williams have anchored the frontcourt defense.
Health is the topic constantly at the forefront of Clippers' discussions, but the team is fully healthy heading into TD Garden. Kawhi Leonard has missed just two of the team's last nine games. Los Angeles is 0-2 in the games he's missed and 7-0 with him in the lineup over that span. The Clippers allow the third-fewest points to opponents, and the team will need to lock down Boston's electric offensive attack to keep this one competitive.
