LiontipsBrooklyn vs Boston. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Brooklyn keep on playing without Kevin Durant and James Harden. After their injuries only Kyrie Irving led the team, but his effort is not enough sometimes. Blake Griffin was supposed to strenghten the Nets' squad, but it looks like he is yet to blend to the squad.
Nets are in a shaky form now. They alternating wins and losses. After loss to Miami (107:109) they secured a win against New Orleans (134:129), but then again couldn't avoid defeat against Toronto (103:114). Despite their struggle Nets are still on 2th seed in Eastern Conference.
Boston has improved their position recently. Now Celtics are on 5th spot in the East. That's because of their great performance in last few matches. Celtics managed to beat Lakers (121:113), Golden State (119:114) and Phoenix (99:86). Another game ended with a loss to Chicago (96:102).
Boston's squad is not fully fit too. Evan Fournier and Robert Williams are on injured list. Jaylen Brown will probably miss this game as well.

Most of head-to-head games were high-scoring. Last one finished with 230 points combined. Both Brooklyn and Boston have star players in their line-ups so we think that this tradition will live on.
