The Boston Celtics have really struggled this entire season. They appeared poised to contend for an NBA Championship, but that doesn't look very good right now. They have three players that formed an all-star caliber group, but not much is left to it right now. Jaylen Brown has been lost for the season, Kemba Walker is questionable with a bad knee, and Jason Tatum has played poorly through two games in this series. Brooklyn is on course to be one of a few teams that could be left standing at the end of it all. When facing mediocre teams (.400 to .490), the Nets are 14-6 ATS this season. When Brooklyn has played vs. poor defensive teams (those allowing 46%+ from the field), the Nets are 26-14 ATS. And don't expect a bounce-back here from the Celts as they are just 12-22 ATS this season revenging a loss. Boston has already been held to 93 points in a game this series, and the Celtics have failed to break 100 in four of their last nine. The last five games in this series have seen four of them play UNDER, and there is a distinct possibility of a lot of garbage time here. Take the Nets and the UNDER.
