Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 30-19
The Brooklyn Nets have alternated a lot between wins and losses in their recent games. However, at least they managed to overcome a poor moment in which they recorded four losses in a row after the injury of their star player, Kevin Durant. The 34-year-old forward has not played since January 8, and until then, he had averaged 29.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 6.7 rebounds per game.
With Durant out, Kyrie Irving is in charge, which he has done admirably recently by scoring at least 30 points in each of his last seven games.
This won’t exactly be an easy game for the Nets, and not just because of the opponent but also because they are playing away from home, a condition in which they have been a little less productive on offense with an average of 113.7 points scored, which could be even worse with Durant’s injury.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Regular Season Record: 36-15
The end of January did not present the best of days for the Boston Celtics, who are still at the top of the Eastern Conference and still own the best record in the league. However, they had lost three games in a row before their previous performance, where they won a controversial game against the Lakers.
The Celtics played a thrilling clash against the Los Angeles Lakers last Sunday that was tied 104-104 with only 5 seconds left on the clock in the final quarter when Jayson Tatum committed a clear foul on LeBron James, which was not called, sending things into overtime where the Celtics came away with a 121-125 win.
Thus, the Celtics have been the best team in the league this campaign, averaging a stellar 117.8 points scored (the third best in the league) and 112.3 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Nets have had a great performance this year, but without Durant, we don’t know what to expect from them defensively and offensively. So, they will have to have an almost perfect game in order to fully deal with the Celtics’ offense, which averages 121.8 points scored per game at home.
In addition, the Celtics really know how to do things well on their side of the court, and while it will be difficult to dominate Irving, they shouldn’t have much trouble with the Nets’ other players.
Even at their best, the Nets have struggled against the Celtics this campaign, already posting a 98-109 loss at home without Durant; so with Boston being at home this time around, we think the best bet is to expect them to come away with the win.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Spread.
