Injury Report

Spread: Boston Celtics -8.0 (-110) @ bet365

The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets are both missing some key players for this matchup, but that doesn't change their desire to secure their position at the top of the East. The Celtics won their last game, but they are also on an impressive 7-3 run over their last 10 games. The Brooklyn Nets have struggled since losing Durant to injury, having lost six of their last 10 games.

The Nets generally find success when their defence is engaged, as they allow just 111.5 points per game on 45.3% shooting from the field and 50.2% from two-point range. Unfortunately, they've fallen off over the course of their last 10 games, allowing 115.2 points per game on 49.8% from the field and 40.4% from three-point range. The Celtics' biggest threat is their scoring prowess, averaging 117.8 points per game (3rd in the NBA) on 47.2% from the field (16th in the NBA) and 37.0% from three-point range (8th in the NBA). Despite the injury, they've maintained their stellar offence, averaging 114.8 points on 45.0% from the field and 36.5% from the three-point range.

We're taking the Boston Celtics in this matchup, despite their injuries. They've controlled the Nets in their last two meetings, suggesting a positive outcome for them. Brooklyn's offence simply doesn't look diverse enough to keep up with the Celtics when they can't field a healthy roster.
