The Trail Blazers have been in tank mode all year and are banged up. However, the Celtics have a questionable Tatum and Brown with a knee and hand injury. The Trail Blazers have also won their last two games, for whatever that’s worth. Also, the Celtics have nothing to play for at this stage, as they already locked up the top seed in the NBA. Massive chalk for a team with nothing on the line. Give me the Trail Blazers and the points.
