Celtics vs Suns
Saturday’s NBA schedule is highlighted by the primetime showdown between the Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns. While the Celtics recently saw their 11-game winning streak come to an end, they’ve still been the best team in the NBA for the past month. They also have the best road record in the NBA, so this being the third game of a West Coast road trip shouldn’t do much to deter Boston’s chances. Other than Jaylen Brown dealing with an injury at the moment, there is no reason to think that the Celtics won’t have a good chance of earning a win on the road.
As for the Suns, they’ve been up and down since the all-star break. The last few weeks have seen them score big wins against the Lakers and Nuggets while also losing twice to the Rockets. It’s been a rollercoaster for Phoenix, and injuries haven’t helped. Devin Booker is currently sidelined while Bradley Beal’s play has been erratic over the last couple of weeks. Obviously, Beal and Kevin Durant playing at their best would give Phoenix a chance to win. However, with the Suns being 12-20-1 against the spread at home this season, it’s best to get behind the Celtics in this game.

No. 7 North Carolina vs No. 9 Duke
Fittingly, the ACC regular-season title will be determined in Saturday’s rivalry game between the no. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels and the no. 9 Duke Blue Devils. If the Tar Heels win, they will earn a sweep of their rivals and the outright ACC crown. But if the Blue Devils win, they will share the regular-season title with their Tobacco Road rivals. UNC won 93-84 when these teams met earlier this season and has won five in a row heading into Saturday’s game. The Tar Heels are also 6-3 against the spread in ACC road games this season.
Naturally, the Blue Devils are eager to get some redemption against the Tar Heels and win a share of the ACC title. Since that loss to North Carolina, Duke has gone 8-1 straight-up and 8-1 against the spread. The Blue Devils are 15-2 straight-up at home this season, losing only to Arizona and Pitt. Most of Duke's recent home games have turned into blowouts, so the Blue Devils have been at their best at home. With the Blue Devils being that good at home, look for them to get the better of their rivals at Cameron Indoor on Saturday.
