Best bets for Sunday, March 1

The Celtics were expected to take a step back this regular season with Jayson Tatum out for most of the year with a torn Achilles, but Boston is currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and has won eight of 10. With some still doubting whether or not Detroit is a real title contender, the Celtics – who should get Tatum back at some point – may very well wind up being the favorite to win the East. The 76ers are 33-26 and are a bit too close for comfort when it comes to the NBA Play-In Tournament. They're still above that cutoff point, though a strong run would certainly be welcome for Philly, which has won three straight entering Sunday. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, likes Boston in this one as they win in the vast majority of simulations and cover as 9.5-point favorites 60% of the time.
