BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston's last 5 games.
Boston are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against Brooklyn.
Boston are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Boston are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Brooklyn.
The total has gone UNDER in 11 of Brooklyn's last 16 games.
Brooklyn are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Brooklyn's last 6 games at home.

Prediction
The Nets have won 3 of their last 4 games and they have been playing better defense since Kyrie Irving returned. The Celtics offense exploded in their last game scoring 142 points vs Twolves. I expect a high scoring game as both offenses are hot right now. Take the over.
