The Celtics are in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, while the Timberwolves are battling to get into the top six in the Western Conference. Both teams played on Tuesday and then had New Year’s Day off. The Celtics are not at full strength, as Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are dealing with injuries and may miss this game. The Celtics have done well against the Timberwolves straight up of late, winning eight of the last 10 matchups, but they are just 5-5 ATS with six of the 10 going over the total.

Celtics at Timberwolves Same Game Parlay Picks
There is no doubt that Boston is the better team and they have done well straight up in this series. The problem is that the Celtics have been a bad team to bet on this season and in this series, as they have not done well against the spread. Boston is capable of playing well whenever they are motivated to have a big game, but how motivated will they be to play this game at Minnesota? The Timberwolves haven’t been anything special this season but they have shown some signs of life lately, as they have played much better of late and maybe they are becoming a team that can be trusted. I’ll take the Timberwolves in this NBA same game parlay. The total is a difficult choice, as Boston scores a lot of points but both teams are solid defensively. There is usually some value in going under the total in nationally televised games, so I’ll go with the under in this contest.
