Advice and prediction

All three times these two teams met, the Celtics hung with the Nets for much of the game, then collapsed late. We don't expect much of a difference barring the random off game Brooklyn seems to have every once in a while, so if you are taking a bet, take the over. Prediction: Brooklyn 119, Boston 101 Get more betting analysis and predictions at Sportsbook Wire. Gannett may earn revenue from audience referrals to betting services.
