Tonight the Boston Celtics take on the San Antonio Spurs in their final game before the All-Star Break. Coming off a loss in Detroit, the Spurs would like nothing better than to secure a victory before heading into the break. On the other hand, the Celtics would probably be comfortable heading into the break with a closely contested defeat.
As usual the Spurs are one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Currently, they are first in the Southwest Division and second overall in the west. The Celtics are not faring so well this season in terms of playoffs with their 19-34 record, yet they may end up with too many wins to score big in this year's draft.
Just looking at both teams' records and the recent results of their head to head matchups, it is likely that the Spurs will finish this portion of their road trip on a high note. If you consider who will be suiting up for each team and look at the Celtics' recent results, predictions will point at the Celtics gaining their 20th victory of the season.
All-Star point guard Tony Parker will not be playing for the Spurs tonight as he is back in Texas resting up before the All-Star Game. Also missing from the Spurs' lineup this evening are Tiago Splitter, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard. Rajon Rondo is likely to play for the Celtics since he did not play on Monday. Avery Bradley may be out for the Celtics with a sprained ankle.
Besides thinking that the Celtics will win tonight, I also think Rondo will get a triple double. Jared Sullinger will also continue on his torrid pace and come away with a double double.
