<h2>
Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Celtics remain deadlocked with the defending NBA Champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers after the Atlanta Hawks snuck by LeBron and company last night in a 126-125 overtime victory, opening the door for the Celtics to take sole possession of the East’s top seed if they get a win here tonight. With just one game remaining on the schedule after this one, many have classed this fixture as a must win for Boston to acquire that top seed and home court throughout the first three legs of the NBA Playoffs. The Celtics are probably feeling extra froggy given the fact Cleveland has Toronto for their regular season finale combined with the notion Beantown gets Milwaukee at home on Wednesday to close out. For Brooklyn, the Nets enter off an impressive 107-106 win at the Barclay’s Center against the Chicago Bulls who are fighting for playoff contention.

Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics Prediction
The assumption here is that Boston will win and do so with authority for obvious reasons. While it is unlikely that Brooklyn pulls off a victory here, there is almost assuredly a hidden premium here to back the Celtics in this market. The Celtics are the best team in the East at the moment, they are at home and they are playing the worst team in the Eastern Conference who have a terrible road performance portfolio. The Nets victory against Chicago is not weighed here most likely and the fact that Boston has not won by more than nine points in any of their four recent victories against Brooklyn has also seemingly been cast aside. This phenomenon typifies the narrative that any taker can expect to spot a lofty number if they wish to back a team like Boston in situations like this and we will have no part of that. The Nets can safely come in under this number offering a spirited effort against a divisional rival. Take the points.
Free Pick:
Take Brooklyn +10.5
