Brooklyn at Boston

Brooklyn has a strong offense and is winding down the season playing well, winning seven of 11. They won four of those straight up as a dog and are riding a 14-5 spread run. Brooklyn guard Jeremy Lin is averaging 18.8 points while shooting 11-for-19 from three-point range over the last four games. Brooklyn's 11-11 SU stretch has given the players confidence it can close out teams, as it did when it rallied to steal a win over the Bulls the last game, 107-106, as a +3.5 dog. The Nets are 7-3 ATS on the road, plus 10-4 ATS after scoring 100+ points in their previous game. While Brooklyn has a day of rest, Boston had to play yesterday, a 121-114 win at Charlotte. Boston has given up at least 114 points in three straight games and in four of its last five as defense remains a concern. The Celtics are on a 4-8 ATS run, and the underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Play Brooklyn.
