BOS Celtics vs. SA Spurs

Another derby today if we could use the soccer term. Both teams with some injuries at main scoring players. Boston without Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Garnett and Scot Pollard; San Antonio without Tony Parker and Brent Barry.

Anyway the missing from Celtics team look more important than the ones in Spurs line-up. It is true that Celtics didn’t felt very much the absence of Kevin Garnett but in some games like the one against Cavs his presence could have made the game easier for Boston. So these missings could count in the balance of the game.

That’s why a bet on Spurs is more safer that we think. The stats are showing that Spurs won 5 in a row on TD Banknorth Garden so another win tonight is very probable.
