The Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics will meet in the NBA regular season. The game is scheduled to start on February 25 at 00:30 UK time.

Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 215.5 – 2.05.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Nets’ Points Over 102.5 – 1.80.
Despite their previous loss, the Boston Celtics have been playing decent basketball lately. The Celtics have been more focused and the teamwork has reached a new level, which is why Ime Udoka’s club is coming into the game as the favorites.
The Brooklyn Nets had time to work on their mistakes, regroup and allow the newcomers to adapt to Steve Nash’s tactics. The team’s management correctly prioritized and focused on reinforcements that should keep the Nets afloat, at least until Kevin Durant returns to the floor. In our opinion, the home team will not go down without a fight.
The opponents are well rested and will be able to get into the final stages of the main draw with fresh energy. We assume that the Nets will go forward with the hope of showing their rivals who’s boss, while the visitors will respond sharply, so we expect a productive encounter.
The Nets have scored more than 103.5 points in four of their last five games.
The Nets decided to take a radical step by letting James Harden go to the Philadelphia 76ers and getting Ben Simmons in return. Also recently Goran Dragic joined the club from New York, so we can say that the management and the head coach are serious about regaining their lost ground.

Recall that the Brooklyn Nets led the Eastern Conference for a long time, but Kevin Durant’s injury had a big impact on the overall picture. Steve Nash’s men lost at home to the Washington Wizards (103-117) in their last meeting, but there was more than enough time to prepare for the next contest.
Boston Celtics:
The Celtics did not make any big moves, apart from the exchange of Dennis Schroeder to Houston, but received Daniel Theis in return. The team suffered a prolonged crisis, but the situation helped Ime Udoka’s men to become stronger.

The Boston Celtics had a nine-game winning streak and reclaimed their place in the play-offs, but still lost the previous game. Of course, few would have expected the Celtics to fall in the game against clear underdog Detroit (111-112). The team has a tough road trip to New York ahead, so it should be an interesting match.
