NBA prediction
Probably the most interesting and fascinating match of the NBA night between Saturday and Sunday will be played at the TD Garden between Boston and San Antonio: a challenge that involves the two second teams in their respective conferences and which will give the team that wins it a nice boost especially in self-esteem. The Spurs play away but have had two more days of rest than the Celtics who took to the field, winning on a recent night against the Raptors in a game that was almost always in control even if never truly commanded as the Spurs did (especially defensively) in the match dated January 8th against the Los Angeles Lakers which ended by 16 points.
The prediction of the match is more open than ever and the bookmakers’ odds, very close if not equal, on the success of one team or the other, amply testify to this, while the balance of the latest direct clashes which sees Boston victorious in the last six matches is certainly not in balance. At the beginning of the season, it was not obvious to think of this match as a top-ranking match despite the recognition of the value of both teams who, however, in the general opinion, so far have more surprised than confirmed and who will enter the contest with their best players present (Jayson Tatum obviously aside).
