Prediction

Celtics 121, Nets 108

Moneyline

The Celtics (-450) bring the league's No. 1 scoring offense against a team they have beaten 9 of the last 10 times.

They are healthy and also allow only 106.5 points per game. The Celtics' average margin of victory this season has been 20.5 points through 4 games.

The Nets have won 3 in a row but are playing for the 3rd time in 4 nights.

The Celtics should win, but at -450 odds, it isn't a good bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Nets are a perfect 5-0 ATS this season. The Celtics are 2-1-1 ATS but have covered the spread in their last 2 wins.

The Nets won the most recent matchup last season, but the previous 3 meetings were all double-digit wins by Boston.

Boston will pull away late.

BET CELTICS -9.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the Celtics' last 3 games. All Boston has to do is hit its average of 127.0 points per game while allowing over 100 points to the Nets, who have scored 109 or more in every game this season.

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
