NBA Betting Analysis Boston vs Portland

The Boston Celtics travel to Portland to take on the Trailblazers in a game where the Celtics should be able to keep the good times rolling! For sports betting fans, the Men in Green were practically unbeatable straight-up until they didn’t do so well against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors last week. No worries, right? They just happened to show NBA betting fans how good they really are by thumping the Sacramento Kings in their last game by a score of 108 to 63. It was a sign that the Celtics defense was still viable.

The Portland Trailblazers are only 19 and 12 straight-up. That’s a problem because with a starting line-up full of scorers in Brandon Roy, LeMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden, the Trailblazers should be winning way more games then they have so far this season. Portland just doesn’t have it together from this basketball betting fan’s point-of-view.

Here are the BetOnline online sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Boston Celtics – 3 ½ – 110 O 185 ½ – 110

Portland Trailblazers + 3 ½ – 110 U 185 ½ – 110

Usually at this point in the article I would write out some trends for BetOnline online sportsbook betting fans, but I don’t believe that any of the trends I saw are helpful.

Why? Because this game comes down to a single factor – - how many points are NBA betting fans willing to give up in order to bet the Boston Celtics?

The Celtics had their wake-up call. Yes, they aren’t nearly as good against the online betting spread, at 18 and 14 for the season, as the rival Cleveland Cavaliers are, at 22 and 8, but the Celtics are still the best team in the NBA.

They got kicked in the groin in L.A. Then, they traveled to Oakland and got kicked in the groin again. BetOnline online sportsbook wagering fans saw what can happen when the Men in Green decide to show the rest of the NBA what their defense can do.

It wasn’t pretty for online wagering fans that backed the Sacramento Kings. So, with that being written, there is only one choice for sportsbook betting fans in this game – - take the Boston Celtics, but at what cut-off?

I’m going to say that if the BetOnline online sportsbook betting line doesn’t go past 6 ½ points, then I’m all over the Celtics to cover against the spread in this game.

It opened at 3 ½. At this point it should quickly be rising to at least 5. I’m making my online bet cut-off at 6 ½. I’m all over Boston at 6 ½ or less to cover in this game.
