Brooklyn vs. Boston

December 25, 2020
img5:00 PM Eastern

This is the first road game of the season for Brooklyn. It's going to take some time for the Kevin Durant/Kyrie Irving tandem to click, and they face a tough situational spot against a talented and well-coached Boston team that is playing its second straight home game, off an impressive win over Milwaukee last night. The Celtics are a strong defensive team under Brad Stevens, fourth in the league last season in field goal defense and second in points allowed and at defending beyond the arc. The Celtics as a unit have played a lot more games together than Brooklyn, along with postseason success. The wagering value is on the deep and talented home team to win the game. Play Boston on the moneyline.

1 unit on Boston +135 (moneyline) (risk 1 to return 2.35)
