Brooklyn failed to cover as an 11-point home underdog as the Under (223) cashed. F Jaylen Brown had a game-high 29 points, while F Michael Porter Jr. scored 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Brooklyn has gone 2-5 straight up and against the spread (ATS) over its last 7 games after starting the season on a 7-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Boston has strung together 3 straight wins, holding 2 of those opponents to fewer than 100 points.

The Celtics (-1200) should again win with ease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">BET CELTICS -14.5 (-115).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Celtics beat the Nets by 14 Tuesday yet uncharacteristically ended with 6 more turnovers. Assuming they resort to the norm, they should be able to win again with ease. They are 2-0 ATS on the season as a favorite of 11 or more and are 3-2 ATS over their last 5 contests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Nets&#8217; offense has been terrible as of late. They have scored 99 or fewer in 3 of their last 5 games and are just 2-4 ATS over their last 6 contests. Brooklyn is 3-4 ATS on the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Take CELTICS -14.5 (-115).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Nets offense has been awful, and the Celtics sit No. 1 in the NBA in turnover rate, suggesting the former may struggle to score and the latter is going to limit transition opportunities. These teams rank 28th (Nets) and 30th (Celtics) in pace as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Brooklyn has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 games, while the Celtics are 1-4 O\/U in their last 5 contests. Considering those trends, back UNDER 222.5 (-110).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">For more sports betting picks and tips, check out <a href=\"\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ftw.usatoday.com\/betftw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Follow SportsbookWire on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsBookWire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sportsbookwire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hoopshype.com\/rumors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">HoopsHype<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/celticswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Celtics Wire<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/netswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rocketswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sixerswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/okcthunderwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/warriorswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/lebronwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therookiewire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelistwire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_ld_p\">Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
