Phoenix Suns vs Boston Celtics: Current situation
Going on a 4-game win streak couldn’t come at a better time for Phoenix Suns fans who are now looking at their team to make one final push to secure a play-in tournament spot. At 35-37 SU they are tied with the Mavs for the 10th spot, however the Kings who are in 9th are just a half game ahead which makes them a realistic target for KD and co. to catch.
Boston’s concerns aren’t tied to the Eastern Conference standings right now. Jayson Tatum suffered an ankle injury in the win over Sacramento on Monday, it is unclear how much time he will miss, but losing him for an extended period would be a devastating blow, even for such a deep team as the Celtics are. Boston comes into this game having won 6 games in a row, they’ve also covered the spread in 8 of 12 outings.
Phoenix Suns Stats & Form
Devin Booker was the hero for Phoenix on Monday night as his jumper with just 2.4 seconds left elevated the Suns to a 108-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Kevin Durant finished the game with 38 points and 8 rebounds, the Suns are doing quite well as a team right now, despite not having Bradley Beal at their disposal.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Prior to suffering his injury, Jayson Tatum was on fire for Boston scoring 25 points and dishing out 8 assists, while knocking down 5 threes. Payton Pritchard had an extended role in the game with 22 points off the bench, including 5 threes scored. The win was never in doubt for Boston as they held the Kings to just 95 points and 8-for-24 shooting from deep.
Phoenix Suns vs Boston Celtics: Head-to-Head
Boston swept the regular season last year with a couple of double-digit wins. That has increased their overall lead in head-to-head meetings to 77 wins compared to 60 by the Suns in 137 games played. From a betting perspective we can notice a trend of low scoring outcomes in the last 5 meetings at Footprint Center. The under has cashed in 5 straight meetings in this building.

Betting tip and prediction: Phoenix Suns vs Boston Celtics (26.03.2025)
A lot will depend on the outcome of this game on Jayson Tatum. He did not return to the game after suffering the injury against Sacramento, he is officially listed as a game-time decision, but the Celtics would be foolish to have him play extended minutes here with the postseason being just weeks away. On paper the Celtics have done well without Tatum this season, winning 5 of 6 games. However, we all know how much he is worth for this team and against an in-form Suns squad his absence will be felt here. Kevin Durant has been on fire lately, not having to deal with Tatum on defense should save him a lot of energy here, which could open up the flood gates on offense. Devin Booker is also producing at a high level, especially on the play making side of things as he is the team’s main ball handler right now. Boston does like to rely quite a lot on the three-ball, but as we saw in their win over Milwaukee the Suns are a capable defensive team around the perimeter. The Bucks shot just 30.8% from downtown on Monday, when it comes to home games the Suns rank very close to the top 10 holding opponents to just 35.2% shooting from the perimeter. With 5 wins in 6 games the Suns have shown us they are a force to be reckoned with, they also have an active 6-game home win streak and have covered the spread in 8 of 11 games. We are more than happy to back them to cover as 6.5 point underdogs here.
