Celtics at Nets picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Celtics 118, Nets 104<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

Avoid this one. The Celtics (-550) should win with ease, but are far too expensive to consider here.<\/p>\n

BET CELTICS -10.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Celtics have performed well as a sizable favorite. They are 2-1 ATS as a favorite of 8 or greater. Boston’s offense is surging as well, tallying 126 points across its last 2 games.<\/p>\n

The Nets, on the other hand, are 2-6 ATS as an underdog of 9 or greater. Brooklyn has had the opposite offensive traction and has scored more than 109 points just once in its last 5 games.<\/p>\n

Considering those trends, back CELTICS -10.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

Simply put, a faster game means more scoring potential, and this game should be played slow. The Celtics rank last (30th) and the Nets sit 28th in pace.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn has gone Under in 2 of its last 3 games, holding 2 of those foes to 106 or fewer. The Celtics are 1-3 O\/U across their last 4 games and have allowed 107 or fewer in 5 of their last 7 games.<\/p>\n

Expect a slow-tempo game and back UNDER 224.5 (-110).<\/p>\n
