Friday will be no ordinary day in the NBA. It will be an evening not apt for the faint-hearted, as it will feature eleven games, including a Nets vs Celtics clash.
It will be the fourth meeting between these two teams so far this season. To the disgrace of Jacque Vaughn and the team, the Massachusetts side came away with the win every time. The last time this happened was on February 1, also at the TD Garden, by a crushing 139 to 96 score.
Without further ado, at JefeBet we bring you the best odds and everything you need to know about the game between Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics.

Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 34-28.
After the departure of Kevin Durant, the Nets found themselves going through a rough patch. The team went through multiple bad performances, including Wednesday’s loss to the New York Knicks. Indeed, the Nets have already lost ten times if we take into account their last 13 games.
Brooklyn is struggling to find its way, and it is evidenced by its average of 113.6 points per game, a far cry from the 120.7 average of the Sacramento Kings.
The positive thing for the visiting team heading into this Celtics vs Nets game is its positive 16-14 record playing away from home. However, out of the last 10 away games the team has played, it has barely won three of them.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Regular Season Record: 45-18.
Prior to February, the Celtics were on a tremendous winning streak. However, the team has lost three of its last 10 games. The most resounding loss is undoubtedly the last one against a fierce rival such as the New York Knicks. That lost game displaced the Boston team from the first place in the East, which now is in the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Still, it was a game that saw the worst of Joe Mazzulla’s squad. Jayson Tatum scored just 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting from the field. As if that wasn’t enough, the forward left in the fourth quarter after receiving his second technical foul, which was the first ejection of his career.
That’s why Tatum will return to the TD Garden with thirst for revenge. His average of 30.1 points per game, a statistic that makes him the sixth-highest scorer of the season, confirms it.
Yet, the star isn’t the only concern for the Nets. The Celtics are the fourth-highest scoring franchise in points scored per game at 117.7, as well as the ninth-best defense in the NBA.
JefeBet Prediction
With six wins in a row against tonight’s opponent, the Celtics will be looking to regain the long-awaited top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Playing in front of its home crowd, Boston has 24 wins in 31 appearances, which represents almost 78% of points obtained at home. If we take into account the last 10 clashes the team has had at its stadium, we should say that it only lost twice.
Moreover, if we consider Brooklyn’s five away losses in a row, everything looks complicated for the New Yorkers. For this reason, JefeBet predicts that the home team will get away with a comfortable victory in this auspicious and exciting game between Nets vs Celtics.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Spread.
