The Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics Game Prediction!
The Pick: The Nets +14.5 -110
So, the Nets are missing Bojan Bogdanovic and Trendon Watford, and the Celtics are still without Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. The Nets have been quietly playing some solid basketball lately and must be feeling good after their tough win over the Grizzlies in their last game. On the other hand, the Celtics have been managing to win games despite all the injuries, but they're coming into this one after a rough loss to the Warriors. The Nets have had a good break since Monday, so even though I believe the Celtics will win comfortably at home, I'm leaning towards the Nets sticking around and covering the spread at this high line.
