Portland Trail Blazers vs. Boston Celtics Preview
This evening, the Portland Trail Blazers will travel to TD Garden for an exciting matchup against the Boston Celtics, featuring the star player Jaylen Brown. One player to watch is Shaedon Sharpe, who has been on an impressive run lately. In this preview, I’ll share my insights and predictions regarding the Blazers versus Celtics game.
Game Predictions
Given Shaedon Sharpe’s recent performance, I am predicting him to score over 21.5 points at odds of -115. Since his debut, Sharpe has been a standout for the Trail Blazers, and he has taken his game to new heights this season, averaging a career-high of 21.9 points through 42 games. He has become one of the key contributors for Portland, consistently delivering strong performances.
Notably, Sharpe has exceeded his point total in four of his last five games, though he finished his most recent outing with 21 points. When playing away, he has maintained an average of 21.9 points per game, and he previously faced off against the Celtics this season, where he scored an impressive 26 points. His confidence is evident, and I expect him to perform at his best tonight.
Same-Game Parlay Insights
Payton Pritchard has taken advantage of Jayson Tatum’s absence, stepping up with an average of 16.7 points per game this season, cashing the Over in two of his last four outings and three of five at home. Meanwhile, Sam Hauser has demonstrated his scoring ability from long range, knocking down 2.7 three-pointers per game on 6.6 attempts, with a shooting accuracy of 40.7%. In his last six games, Hauser has hit the Over five times.
Despite the Trail Blazers limiting opponents to a 27.6% success rate from three-point range over the past three games, Hauser is finding his rhythm from beyond the arc, averaging 2.5 makes at home with a shooting percentage of 42%. For my same-game parlay, I suggest combining:
- Shaedon Sharpe Over 21.5 points
- Payton Pritchard Over 15.5 points
- Sam Hauser Over 2.5 three-pointers
- Jrue Holiday Over 5.5 assists (Holiday averages 7.1 assists per game and has recorded the Over in his last two games).
Betting Odds and Insights
As for the betting landscape of tonight’s game, the odds are as follows:
- Spread: Trail Blazers +8.5 | Celtics -8.5
- Moneyline: Trail Blazers +260 | Celtics -330
- Over/Under: Over 224.5 | Under 224.5
A notable trend heading into this matchup is that the Trail Blazers have turned their season around, winning 14 of their last 21 games, resulting in a significant return on investment.
