Our Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
Boston will win this game; that much is certain. However, there is no value in betting the moneyline (-575), so the question becomes whether they’ll cover (-11.5) or you should bet the total. After a tough outing against a strong Detroit team, they’ve rebounded with two strong performances. Brooklyn, on the other hand, has not played particularly well on either end of the court. Since Boston knows it just needs to take Julius Randle and Michael Porter Jr. out of the game, I don’t expect Boston to have any trouble covering this spread.
Our Brooklyn vs. Boston Pick: Celtics -11.5
