Celtics vs Nets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Barclays Center at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
Why Bet The Celtics:
✅ As we have mentioned above, the Nets are on an eight-game losing streak. Also, Brooklyn has covered only once during that awful stretch. The Nets miss five players, including their superstar Kevin Durant, who’s recovering from a knee injury, while James Harden is questionable to play due to a hamstring injury. On the other side, the Celtics are healthy and raring to go.
✅ Without Kevin Durant, the Nets’ offense is in shambles. Brooklyn has surpassed a 106-point mark only once in its previous seven contests overall. Keep in mind that Kyrie Irving won’t play due to medical protocols, so the Nets will have a mountain to climb on the home court. The Celtics’ defense has been outstanding as of late, holding its opponents below a 100-point mark in six of the previous eight games. .

✅ The Celtics’ offense continues to lean on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and this duo has done a superb job over the last few weeks. While Tatum has averaged 26.2 points on 47.0% shooting from the field in the last ten games, Brown has recorded 23.1 points on 44.7% shooting from the field in that span. The Celtics shouldn’t have too many problems dealing with the Nets’ D that allows 111.5 points per 100 possessions (20th in the NBA).
Boston Celtics
The Celtics extended their winning streak to five games this past Sunday, outlasting the lowly Orlando Magic 116-83 as 9.5-point road favorites. Jaylen Brown led the charge for Boston with 26 points, five rebounds, and three steals, while Dennis Schroder added 22 points in just 20 minutes off the bench.
Boston dominated Orlando on the back of its defense. The Magic made only 35.8% of their field goals and 19.2% of their 3-pointers (5-for-26). The Celtics are now tied with Cleveland for the third-best defensive rating in the NBA (106.1 points allowed per 100 possessions). They also rank second in the league in the opponent field goal percentage (43.3%).
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets extended their losing streak to eight games last Sunday, suffering a heavy 124-104 defeat at the Denver Nuggets. Brooklyn also recorded its fourth consecutive ATS loss, failing to cover an 8.5-point spread at Ball Arena in Denver.
Brooklyn has gone only 1-7 ATS during its terrible streak. The Nets are 19-33-1 against the spread on the season. They’ve covered only twice over their previous 19 outings on the home court along with one push.
