The Falcons vs. Celtics betting line had Atlanta as a -6 road favorite. They were seeing the most wagering action of any other side this evening at 85%. For Fantasy aficionados there were some good considerations for this game but you may also want to think about our Free Pick on this game as we are on the Boston Celtics +6.
Why the Boston Celtics?
We love that the books have moved this line down to encourage more action on an Atlanta Falcons team already getting tons of it.
Furthermore, the home team has won 7 of the last 10 in this series. Boston has won 4 of the last 7. Using the current number, Atlanta has only covered the spread once in those seven games.
Gambling911.com has only begun to make its Free Picks on NBA and College Basketball games but we have managed to go 20-5 with our NFL picks since Week 7, picking mostly dogs.
Now onto the night’s Fantasy matchups.
Jae Crowder – Boston – ($4600) – This is a good price. Not the best scorer but Crowder does well in other areas, especially on defense. 20 Fantasy points or more tonight and Crowder will have performed well enough for you.
With the Celtics allowing their opponents to score on average 103.8 points per game, there are plenty of Falcons players to choose from in tonight’s matchup.
Paul Millsap ($8.3K), Kyle Korver ($5K), Jeff Teague ($8.5K), Al Horford ($6.6K) and Demarre Carroll ($5.2K) are your starters for this evening.
Jeff Teague – ($8500) - has scored at least 37 Fantasy points in seven of eight and he was rested last night against Philadelphia so we could see better than that number tonight. When selecting a high priced player, Teague is one that should be considered.
Paul Milsap – ($8000) – Could potentially be a better value than Teague in that Boston ranks dead last in Fantasy points allowed to opposing power forwards. Like Teague, Milsap also sat out last night’s game.
