Boston at Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Nets had a tough time with Boston in Game 1. Boston actually held the lead in that game longer than Brooklyn. The Celtics are already without Jalen Brown for the series, and in Game 1, foul trouble plagued Kemba Walker as his minutes ended up being reduced to 27. The Celtics are also facing the fact that they could fall back 2-0 in this series, so I think we will see the "A" game come out in full force for this one. The Celtics still have some pieces as Robert Williams blocked nine shots as Tatum's off game and the Kemba foul trouble pretty much did them in. The loss was by 11. Do I think they are one hoop better than that tonight which is all it will take to get the cover? Yes, I do. Make the play on Boston.
