The red hot Boston Celtics are aiming for an eighth consecutive win when they host the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night. Boston has held five teams under 100 points during that stretch and defeated the 76ers 114-103 at London, England on Thursday. Sure, heavy traveling, but they've had plenty of time to recover and I think the line set for this contest favors Boston big time.

The Pelicans are coming off a 123-118 OT triumph at New York on Sunday, but it must have cost a lot of energy after a late rally. They're 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and only 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings with the Celtics who usually step it up in the big games and are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

My NBA Game of the Week is a 10* play on Boston Celtics.
