*5 Star TGIF Top Total* Minnesota isn't able to push the tempo the same way right now, because they have so many injuries. In addition to Rubio being out for the year, they will be without Barea, Beasley, and Pekovic in this game. Boston is one of the best defensive teams in the league, and the Celtics are great at controlling the tempo. The referee crew here makes this a stronger play for me. Lead offical Brent Barnaky is 26-6 to the 'under' this year. The other two officials are a combined 46-28 to the under. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two in Minnesota. Take the under big.
