San Antonio Spurs vs Boston Celtics Betting Preview
However you slice it, the San Antonio Spurs have not had a very good season. The Spurs are 2-13 against teams from the Eastern Conference. San Antonio is one of the worst defensive teams in all of the NBA, allowing more than 121 points per game. The Spurs are also 4-16 when playing on the road.
Victor Wembanyama came out as the standout narrative for the San Antonio Spurs this season. The rookie has shown his prowess by appearing in all but five games for the Spurs, leading the team with an impressive 19.6 points per game while also grabbing more than 10 rebounds per game. Following Wembanyama, Devin Vassell contributes with 17.6 points per game.
Despite individual standout performances, the Spurs have gone through challenges on both ends of the court. Offensively, they rank 23rd in the league, averaging 112.2 points per game. Struggling from beyond the arc, San Antonio is one of the least proficient three-point shooting teams, making just 34.6% of their attempts. Defensively, they find themselves as the fourth-worst team in the league and the lowest-ranked in the Western Conference.
Currently, in the middle of a five-game road trip, San Antonio faces Charlotte on Friday and Washington on Saturday before concluding the trip with a game against Philadelphia on Monday. The Spurs’ next home game is scheduled for January 24th against the Thunder.
Shifting focus to the Boston Celtics, their success is due to a well-balanced scoring attack. While Jayson Tatum receives major recognition as the team’s top player, the Celtics boast a balanced offensive distribution. Tatum leads with 27.1 points per game, complemented by Jaylen Brown contributing 23.4 points per game.
In his first season with the team, Kristaps Porzingis has made a major impact, featuring in 30 of the 40 games and averaging 19.1 points and nearly 7 rebounds per game. As a collective unit, Boston ranks fifth in the NBA, scoring an impressive 121 points per game.
The Celtics face a tough challenge at home on Friday against the Denver Nuggets, potentially offering a preview of the NBA Finals. After that, Boston hits the road for three consecutive matchups against the Rockets, Mavericks, and the Miami Heat.
