(NBA) Boston vs. Portland,
Total: 213.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL ART OF WAR on the OVER between the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trailblazers.

Two teams surging towards the postseason collide on the Thursday night and suffice it to say, we're expecting a wide-open shootout and for this total to eclispse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. Boston is expected to get a boost with the return of forward Jae Crowder today, without the talented swingman in the line-up the C's have gone just 4-5, while averaging 100.7 points. Over their previous 28 games Boston had averaged 111.5 points, with Crowder leading the charge with 17.4 points over his last 12 games. And after winning 16 of their last 17 in Boston, the Celtics have a lot to play for as they look to finish at least fourth in the conference, as to secure the home floor advantage in the first round. Boston will also be looking to atone for a listless 114-90 loss to the Clippers on Monday. And with a date tomorrow night at Golden State, tonight's contest takes on even more importance for the visitors. There's no way the Celtics can "look past" the Blazers today, whose 16-3 home record since Jan. 10th is third best in the West. Portland is coming off a 105-93 win over Sacramento on Monday and has its sights set on passing fifth place Memphis. The Blazers have been getting the job done with a high-powerered offense which has averaged a whopping 114.4 points at home over its last ten games. Leading scorers Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum sat out the fourth quarter of Monday's victory and have had two whole days off to recoup, expect each to be at the top of their respective games this evening. Note that Boston has seen the total go OVER the number in 15 of 24 non-conference games this season, while Portland has seen the total sail past the posted number in five of seven this year after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERs. Play on the OVER.
