Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers prediction

There's a potential look ahead factor for the Boston Celtics with the Utah Jazz on deck tomorrow night. The Celtics could just want to win and get out while not running their starters into the ground. However, the Celtics are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games, and we've recently seen them absolutely take teams behind the woodshed. The Portland Trail Blazers are still dealing with a mountain of injuries, and they're 30-33 ATS on the year despite being massive underdogs every night. Thick line for a road team, but a Celtics win by 15 plus would shock nobody. Give me the C's.
