Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

The Brooklyn Nets have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 12 of their first 14 games and they are coming into this one fresh off a 113-99 defeat to the Celtics in their last outing on Tuesday. Michael Porter Jr led the team in scoring with 25 points on eight of 16 shooting, Day’Ron Sharpe added 16 points on seven of 10 shooting while Noah Clowney chipped in with 13 points.

As a team, the Nets shot just 40 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Celtics in a close contest. They even led early in the fourth quarter, before they went ice-cold and scored just nine points in the final 9:07 to allow the Celtics to run away with it in the end. Nic Claxton had a rough game as he shot just one of nine from the field for his seven points.

Jaylen Brown led the team with 29 points on nine of 19 shooting, Payton Pritchard added 22 points with 10 rebounds and five assists while Derrick White chipped in with 15 points.

As a team, the Celtics shot 49 percent from the field and 19 of 42 from the 3-point line, which are great numbers. However, they committed a total of 19 turnovers, which kept the Nets in the contest until the fourth quarter where they were able to pull away.

Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Nets are still missing Haywood Highsmith and Cam Thomas, while the Celtics have ruled out Jayson Tatum once again. The Nets have endured a slow start to the season, but they were more than competitive against the Celtics for about 39 minutes on Tuesday but that game was at home. Maybe the Nets can hang around in the first half, but with the Celtics playing this one at the TD Garden, I will back them to pull away and make it a complete blowout in front of their home fans.
