Celtics and Spurs Clash in Pre-All-Star Break Showdown

2025-03-01

The Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs are set to face off on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at the TD Garden in Boston. The game marks the conclusion of the Spurs’ six-game road trip, during which they have gone 2-3 so far. The Celtics, on the other hand, have been in strong form, winning six of their last seven games and showcasing a stout defense that has limited opponents to under 105 points in their last two outings.

The Spurs, who recently acquired De’Aaron Fox in a trade, are 2-2 since his arrival. Fox has been a key contributor, scoring 30 points in their recent win over the Washington Wizards. However, the Celtics’ defense, led by Kristaps Porzingis and their gritty perimeter players, is expected to pose a significant challenge for Fox and the Spurs’ backcourt. Porzingis has been particularly effective on the boards, averaging over six rebounds in recent games.

Injury concerns loom for both teams. The Celtics will be without Jrue Holiday, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury, while Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable due to right knee soreness. Torrey Craig, another key player, is also questionable as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. For the Spurs, Charles Bassey remains out with a knee injury, but Victor Wembanyama is available to play.

The game is expected to be a defensive battle, with the total points line set at 233.5. The Under has been a winning bet in five of the last six meetings between these teams, and with both teams prioritizing defense, a low-scoring affair is anticipated. The Celtics are favored by 8 points, reflecting their strong recent form and home-court advantage.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST, with the game being nationally televised on ESPN. This matchup serves as the final game for both teams before the All-Star break, adding extra significance to the outcome.
