Randy’s Pick

The Brooklyn Nets are playing good basketball, but they're still banged up and on the end of a back to back. These spots usually hurt banged up teams as guys are being asked to log heavier minutes and now they have to play again. The Nets are still without key players Nic Claxton and Cameron Johnson. The Boston Celtics have been a buzz saw through 4 games and their offense has been downright ridiculous. Thick line, especially for a road team, but I'll lay it with the Celtics anyway. Tough schedule spot for the Nets.

Randy’s Pick Boston Celtics -9.5
