Preview

Boston Celtics will be meeting Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday in Boston, This will be the second game in the first round for this matchup after Boston Celtics have won game 1 by one point (115-114) in the last second of the game after they didn't call a timeout to surprise the Nets. Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum were both great in that game.

Brooklyn Nets are coming to this game with a lot of revenge and furious from how game 1 ended. Brooklyn Nets were behind by 11 points going to the 4th quarter and they have managed to take the lead and almost the win till Jayson Tatum surprised them with a great finish in the last second of the game. Kyrie Irving was the best player in the game with 39 points on 60% shooting from the field and 60% shooting from the 3 Pointers and him and Kevin Durant will try to level up the score in this one.

Boston Celtics had a night to remember in that win vs the Nets as they were that close to losing the game after Kyrie Irving went off in that 4th quarter to give the lead to the Nets but they still somehow managed to take game 1 from the Nets. Jayson Tatum was Boston's best player with 31 points on 50% shooting from the field and 43% from the 3 Pointers. Now the pressure is on the Nets to try to level the score up and Boston will play their best to get a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Head to Head

Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics have both won 5 of last 10 games each, But Brooklyn Nets have a great 6-3-1 ATS record against Boston. First playoffs game ended in a 115-114 Boston win but the Nets covered the spread and game went Over. The O/U is 8-2 to the Over with Brooklyn Nets averaging 117.1 points and Boston Celtics averaging 116.1 points a game. 

Prediction

Boston Celtics have won game one by a points in the last second by a great drive and finish from Jayson Tatum, Brooklyn Nets however still covered the spread as 4 points underdogs which puts the Celtics on only 5 ATS games covered in the last 20 games vs Brooklyn Nets and I like Kyrie Irving to have a revenge game here especially after what happened with the crowd and Kevin Durant is in a good form so give me the Nets to level the score here or at least covere.

Pick: Brooklyn Nets +3.5 (-110)
