Game Totals Pick

Over 208.0(-110)

Reasoning

This will be the 4th meeting this season between the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics, and each of the first 3 contests surpassed the combined 208-point mark. We should be seeing more of the same here. The Nets have had significant defensive issues of late, ranking just 24th in defensive rating over the last 10 games. They have given up 115 or more points in 3 straight contests as a result, and 2 of those games were against teams ranked 19th and 21st in offensive rating over the last 10. As such, the Celtics should have a great offensive showing. They also come into tonight healthy, with just Jayson Tatum being a long-term absentee.

Over the last 10 games, the Nets are 26th in opponent points in the paint, an area the Celtics should be well positioned to exploit. Jaylen Brown is a very physical guard that will cause the Nets rookie backcourt issues. Expect him to lead a dominant Celtics offense in this one. The Nets have not performed well offensively according to advanced statistics, but they have still managed to score 100 or more points in each of their last 3 games. That includes 110-points against the San Antonio Spurs, a team 3rd in defensive rating over the last 10. They should be able to do their part for the over once again.

Nets vs Celtics prediction: Over 208 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 209.

Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
