Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 78% chance of winning the game
Despite resting Derrick White, the Celtics are poised to dismantle a reeling Nets squad that is fresh off a historic 54-point loss.
Key Analysis
- • Boston will be without Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and Derrick White (rest), while Brooklyn misses Haywood Highsmith (knee).
- • Jaylen Brown, coming off a 30-point performance, has a favorable matchup against a Nets defense that just surrendered 120 points.
- • Brooklyn's defense has collapsed, ranking near the bottom of the league and allowing a franchise-worst margin of victory in their last outing.
- • The Celtics have stabilized with 6 wins in their last 10 games, whereas the Nets are on a 3-game skid and a 2-11 slide.
- • Boston ranks 2nd in the NBA in 3-pointers made per game (15.8), which poses a major threat to Brooklyn's perimeter defense.
- • The Nets need a high-scoring return from Cam Thomas and a massive effort to rebound from their humiliating 54-point defeat against the Knicks.
