The Boston Celtics are on the road to take on the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center on Saturday. The Celtics have been excellent this season and hold the second seed (54-19) in the Eastern Conference. Their opponents, the Spurs, are struggling and hold the 13th seed (31-41) in the Western Conference.
Coming into this game, the Celtics are on a roll, having won seven games in a row. They are also 9-1 over their last 10 games and will surely make things difficult for San Antonio.
Meanwhile, the Spurs have fallen apart since De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama went down with injuries. They have lost two games in a row and will try and avoid a third on Saturday.

Boston Celtics vs San Antonio Spurs Preview
The Celtics last faced the Spurs on Feb. 12. Boston won that game 116-103, following a stellar outing by Jason Tatum. Tatum recorded 32 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Kristaps Porzingis was also key, recording 29 points and six rebounds.
The Spurs fought back and were led by De’Aaron Fox, who recorded a team-high 23 points and also poured in five assists. Victor Wembanyama recorded 17 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks, but it wasn’t enough to get the win.
Heading into Saturday’s contest, the Celtics have all their stars available. Meanwhile, the Spurs will be without Fox and Wembanyama, as their seasons are already over. San Antonio couldn’t defeat Boston with its star duo the previous time and will likely struggle to do so without them.

Boston Celtics vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Tips
Jason Tatum has been consistent during this final stretch of the season as he and the Celtics try and close the season out on top. He has averaged 25.8 points, 7.2 assists and 6.8 rebounds over his last five outings. As such, it could pay off to bet on him to surpass his points prop of 25.5.
Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown has lost a step since the final stretch of the season began. He is averaging 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists over his last five games and has looked rusty lately. With his form in mind, it could pay off to bet on Brown going under his points prop of 19.5 against the Spurs.
Boston Celtics vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Boston Celtics are simply too strong and have too much momentum to drop a game to a struggling San Antonio team. Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis will be too much to handle for the under-equipped Spurs on Saturday. Expect the Celtics to win this game by a comfortable margin.
