Brooklyn at Boston

The line here suggests that these teams are even, but the standings sure don't suggest that. Boston has lost some key players and have Garnett, and Pierce both aging and playing off injuries. The Nets have won two straight, and three out of four, and the loss was by a scant 2 points. The Celtics are limping across the finish line at just 4-8 in their last 12 games, and three of those wins came against Cleveland, Detroit, and Washington. The Celtics have dropped four straight after reaching the century mark in their last game. Go with the dog here and back Brooklyn.
