The Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans meet again, and while it’s not the game of the week, I’ve got NBA betting tips to make it a profitable one. Boston sits as the obvious favorite at -11, but if you’re thinking this is a cakewalk, think again. The Pelicans already pushed them to the edge once – why not again?
The Celtics vs. Pelicans odds may favor Boston, but home-court advantage is real. Let’s break it down.
Celtics vs. Pelicans Prediction
The last time these teams met, it was a nail-biter, but no shock – the Boston Celtics squeaked out a 120-119 win. Don’t expect anything different here. Boston’s been dragging its feet to win games, while New Orleans’ backcourt keeps proving it can hang with the best. I see another close one, but the Celtics skate away once again. Final score? Celtics 122, Pelicans 113.

He went ice cold – 0-for-2 from behind the arc. He’ll get his points tonight but don’t count on many triples. Make Brown your second NBA player prop pick tonight to stay under 1.5 3-pointers.
3. Trey Murphy Over 19.5 Points (-117)
The New Orleans Pelicans are hungry for a win, and you can expect SG Trey Murphy to finish with over 19.5 points. Murphy has been the go-to scorer for New Orleans, and scoring over 19.5 isn’t just needed – it’s practically a lock. He’s hit over 20 points in four of his last seven games, and the last time he faced the Celtics, he scored 30 points. Bet online for Murphy to fill it up again.
Celtics vs Pelicans Moneyline Pick
While the Pelicans are trying to redeem themselves, it’s tough to bet against Boston here. Even with their recent slump, the Celtics’ 3-point barrage is deadly – when they’re on, no one can match their scoring. Plus, Boston’s defense ranks better than the Pelicans’, who are near the bottom when it comes to points allowed. The NBA odds expect the Celtics to sneak out with the win tonight, and I agree. Take Boston to win outright.
Celtics vs Pelicans Spread Pick
The Celtics might win outright, but when it comes to covering the spread, roll with the Pelicans. Sure, New Orleans is struggling for wins, but they gave Boston a serious run for their money last time, and that was in TD Garden. Now, with Boston coming into New Orleans, don’t expect a cakewalk. Plus, with Boston being just 6-25 against the spread after a win, expect the Pelicans to keep this one close and cover.
Celtics vs Pelicans Over/Under Pick
With the Celtics putting up a league-high 17.8 3-pointers per game, you can expect them to put up their usual points. Plus, with the Pelicans’ guard trio – Trey Murphy, Dejounte Murray, and CJ McCollum – ready for action, they’ll be looking to score at will, keeping the Pelicans in contention. This game is a perfect recipe for high-scoring action with shots being traded on both ends. Take the over, you won’t regret it.
