Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/21/25

The Brooklyn Nets will visit the Boston Celtics this Friday night in the group stage of the NBA Cup. The Nets have an overall record of 2-12 and are 0-2 in NBA Cup games. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games, including a 113-99 setback against the Celtics in their most recent outing. Jaylen Brown led all scorers with 29 points; Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets in scoring with 25 points. The Celtics have an overall record of 8-7 and they are 1-1 in NBA Cup games. The Celtics’ recent success marked their third straight win and fourth in their last 5 games. With the win, the C’s are above .500 for the first time this season. They will be looking to continue to build off momentum and take back-to-back wins against the struggling Nets. 

No matter the opponent, it is difficult to beat any NBA team in back-to-back games. Boston looked better in recent games, but it still hasn’t proven that it can match the dominance that other recent Celtics teams have shown. Head coach Joe Mazzulla has his team playing where it either lives or dies by the 3-point shot. My main concern with the Celtics is still that they attempt the second-most three-point shots in the NBA at 44.2 attempts per game, but they are only ranked 19th in percentage at 34.7% made. In the Celtics’ last three seasons, they have been top 10 in both of those categories. The Nets have struggled to start the season, but their 2 wins did come on the road. With players such as Nic Claxton, Terrance Mann and Michael Porter Jr, the Nets are scrappy enough to keep this game close.

Nets vs Celtics prediction: Brooklyn +15 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
