The Boston Celtics have already shown their mettle, winning two home games in a row. Of course, with that kind of advantage, it’s safe to go on the road. The Celtics plan to press their opponent and not delay the series.
The Brooklyn Nets are in such a situation that all they can do is go forward. The Nets failed to prove themselves on the road, so everything will be done on the home field, the more so because Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are still in place.
We expect the home team to play exclusively offensively. The Celtics have made good progress, so they have something to answer for, so we expect an interesting and productive encounter.
The Nets have scored more than 112.5 points in four of their last five games.

The Nets had to suffer a prolonged slump this season, which could be said to have cost them first place in the Eastern Conference. Despite this, the team rightly earned the right to play in the playoffs and faced the Boston Celtics in the 1/8 finals.
The Brooklyn Nets tried to snatch victory from the TD Garden Arena, but two attempts came to nothing. Steve Nash’s men lost, though they played decently. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant return to their home arena in New York, where they will be expected to play a very different game. The third game of the series is crucial because if they lose, the Nets will have little chance of saving the situation.
In the second game of the series, Kevin Durant scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Celtics had a similar situation, but the team came to their senses rather quickly and even fought for the lead in the Eastern Conference. Ime Udoka has found a common language with his players and now the tandem is showing good results.
In the first game of the series the Boston Celtics were somewhat lucky because the opponent was very close to winning, but still have to thank their luck (115-114). The Celtics played the next game much better and tried to keep their opponent at the distance the entire time. The team travels to the Barclays Centre arena with a good handicap, but the competition is extremely serious.
In the second game of the series, Jaylen Brown scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Safe Bets
- The Brooklyn Nets are averaging 25.3 assists per game;
