Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets CashBet Wagering Analysis

With a more stable system coming off from the NBA All-Star Weekend, the Boston Celtics look to be the logical choice to make in this matchup as compared to the Brooklyn Nets who are just about to pick up the pieces.

Nets Looking to Recover Lost Ground

The Brooklyn Nets came from being the best team in the NBA Eastern Conference to falling to the play-in region. The injuries of Kevin Durant combined with the unavailability of Kyrie Irving contributed to that huge dip. Having traded James Harden for key pieces to surround Durant is expected to give the team a huge push. Ben Simmons has yet to play a game but Seth Curry and Andre Drummond proved to be valuable additions for the Nets. There is so much upside for the Nets to end the season on a high note and it is just a matter of getting each other available to play.

Celtics Coming Out from Being a Mediocre Team

The Boston Celtics have managed to claw their way out from the play-in tournament area to be the 6th best team in the NBA Eastern Conference. They may be coming off from a tough loss but the team has been picking it up with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum playing on the same page once again. Marcus Smart made some comments about the team’s dysfunction but that was already addressed by the team’s young leaders and will look to make a huge run to end the season. Derrick White looks to be a good late addition while the team is also getting back Daniel Theis from the trade deadline to boost their chances of finishing strong.

Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets Head-to-Head with Spread

This should be a run-and-gun game with a lot of three-pointers for both teams. This is going to be an exciting matchup and the total should go over while the NBA betting spreads should be covered.

The Brooklyn Nets are still without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving is not set to play in home games. With that, the more complete Boston Celtics are the favored team and are seen as the safer pick to make.
