Boston is 45-36-1 ATS and enjoyed a remarkable turn of events following a slow start and then winning 28 of their last 35 games. The Celtics got healthier and gained some team chemistry instead of depending on Jayson Tatum (26.9 points per game) and Jaylen Brown (23.6 points per game) to outscore the opposition. Brooklyn managed to get by Cleveland on Tuesday, but it had to shoot 54% to do it, and Kyrie Irving poured in 34 points on 12-for-15 shooting. The Celtics have won and covered the last three meetings by an average of 13 points. Boston holds opponents to 50.6 points in the first half and 104.5 points for the game. The Celtics are 24-10-1 ATS in their last 35 playoff games as favorites and 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall against teams with winning records. The Nets are 16-7-1 UNDER versus teams with a .600 or higher winning percentage, and they have gone UNDER in five of their last six games. I have three picks for you on this one. Take the Celtics ATS for a Max Play, back the First-Half UNDER, and also the full game UNDER.
