With five games on tonight's NBA schedule, I'll give the top play as calculated by the Formulated Spread Indicator (FSI).
8:08pm: LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS. BOSTON CELTICS
FSI rating: BOS -15.50
PICK: BOSTON CELTICS -9 (-105)
RISK: 1 UNIT
Game notes: The Celtics (9-2) failed to cover the spread in their 110-107 win over Atlanta on Monday, the first time they didn't during their current 9 game winning streak. Kyrie Irving leads Boston in scoring (22.3 PPG).
The 5-5 Lakers have won two in a row. Rookie Lonzo Ball is struggling with his shot (29.9% FG) but is putting up respectable assist and rebounding numbers.
Boston's defense along with the home court advantage will make this a tough outing for the Lakers. I see no problem backing them for a double-digit victory.
Good luck, players!
