Boston Celtics (51-18) vs. San Antonio Spurs (45-22) NBA Picks: Tonight, beginning at 8:30 PM ET (5:30 PM PT) on NBA-TV, the Atlantic Division leading Boston Celtics travel to the “Lone Star State” to take on the leaders of the Southwest, the San Antonio Spurs.

In a battle between the NBA’s last two champions, both the C’s and the Spurs come in struggling to remain healthy as we approach the end of the regular season.

At BodogLife.com, NBA Picks expert oddsmakers have put together a great package of NBA Picks games, which includes this one. The home team, San Antonio Spurs [-4], will be the Sports Odds favorite to win tonight’s game, as the Boston Celtics [+4] will be the underdogs.

Without a doubt, both of these clubs need to get healthy to have any chance to compete for an NBA title this season. Currently, both squads remained poised to hold on to the second spot in their respective conferences. As of right now, Boston trails Cleveland by 4½ games, while San Antonio’s deficit remains at 8½ games behind the Los Angeles Lakers. The OVER/UNDER for this, Boston Celtics vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Picks, has been set at a combined total of 182½ points.

It's unclear which of the clubs' banged-up stars will be in the lineup tonight. San Antonio's Manu Ginobili and Boston's Kevin Garnett are the biggest names to miss considerable time. Ginobili has now been out for the last 16 games with an ankle problem and Garnett missing the last 13 with a knee strain. "We know that we are injured," Pierce said, "but just to get back on the winning mind-frame is big for us."
