Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 82% chance of winning the game
Despite Jayson Tatum's absence, the Celtics are heavily favored to bounce back at home against a reeling Nets squad that has lost six consecutive games.
Key Analysis
- • Jayson Tatum is sidelined with an Achilles injury, but Jaylen Brown has been cleared to play and will lead the offense.
- • The Celtics possess the NBA's second-highest offensive rating (120.2) and face a struggling Nets defense.
- • Brooklyn is currently on a six-game losing streak and has dropped five straight contests on the road.
- • Boston holds a 2-1 head-to-head advantage this season, including a double-overtime victory in late January.
- • New addition Nikola Vucevic provides the Celtics with a veteran rebounding presence to counter Brooklyn's Nic Claxton.
- • The Nets must get a high-scoring performance from Michael Porter Jr. to have any chance of covering the large spread.
