Our Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Celtics have their own concerns, particularly with the recent decline in production from Jrue Holiday and Al Horford. Jaylen Brown has also been less efficient compared to last season, and Boston will be without him for this game. Jayson Tatum is listed as questionable, which could impact their offensive firepower. On the other side, Brooklyn remains without Cam Thomas, but they expect Noah Clowney to return to the lineup, providing some depth.
Despite missing key players, Boston remains a formidable opponent at home, where they have been nearly unbeatable this season. The oddsmakers have made them significant favorites once again, reflecting their superior form and consistency. However, the Nets can take confidence from their previous performance, where they nearly staged a comeback against the Celtics on Saturday. Additionally, Brooklyn has the advantage of having played on Sunday, which kept them in rhythm, while Boston has had a few days of rest.
While the Celtics are expected to extend their dominance in this matchup, the Nets have shown they can keep the game competitive. If Brooklyn can replicate their strong three-point shooting and capitalize on second-chance opportunities, they may have a chance to challenge Boston in what could be a closer-than-expected contest. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets: Celtics win but don't cover.
