The Boston Celtics were clearly the best team in the NBA over the last third of the season, and they have been the better team in their series vs Brooklyn as well as the Celtics have opened with a 2-0 series lead. What makes things more difficult is the Boston defense has bottled up and frustrated Kevin Durant, and now they get Robert Williams back in the middle of an already top-rated defense. Williams is the only center that has allowed under 40% shooting and makes a huge difference, as the Boston defense has been great so far, and will be better in game 3. The Nets have struggled all season, and I don't expect that to change here vs a very tough Boston team. Make the play on Boston as a Max Play.
