Boston got healthy for the first time this season, but now Jae Crowder is questionable again as he may have re-injured an ankle. Boston won the first meeting 122-117 on Oct. 26, however, the Celtics nearly blew a 23-point lead before holding on for the win. Boston is playing its third straight road game after coming from behind and beating Minnesota 99-93 on Monday night as Isaiah Thomas scored 29 points and Al Horford added 20 points. Brooklyn is in need of a win after four losses in a row, but the Celtics have covered only one of seven games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Brook Lopez scored 21 points in Brooklyn's loss to Portland on Sunday, but the Trail Blazers shot 57.6 percent from the field. The Nets have covered the spread four of their last five after a 10-point plus home loss. Take the points and play the Nets.
