2021 NBA MOTIVATIONAL GAME OF THE YEAR! (+$83,000!)
(NBA) Boston vs. Minnesota, 05/15/2021 2:00 PM, Score: 124 - 108
Point Spread: -3.50 | -110.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm playing on MINNESOTA. This game doesn't matter to the Celtics. Therefore, they won't play the likes of Brown, Smart, Thompson, Walker and Williams. All are banged-up and will take this opportunity to rest. There may be more, too. Yes, the Celtics have a pretty deep bench but they'll be missing a lot here and its going to be hard to get motivated for a game at Minnesota, when much bigger ones lie ahead. Note that Boston is just 4-7 ATS its last 11 against teams with a losing record. While the T-Wolves came up short against Jokic and the Nuggets, they've been playing decent basketball for some time now. They've won seven of their past 12. During that stretch, they were a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS when listed as favorites, too. They won the two games when they were "home favorites" by 19 and 32 points. Expect them to want this one more than Boston, en route to another win and cover.
