LiontipsBrooklyn vs Boston. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Nets are taking the league by storm this season, but that's not a surprise with their star squad. Board acquired the best players in the league and will now aim for the championship.
In the first playoff series Brooklyn was drawn to Boston, who just can't keep up with the opponent. Steve Nash's players recorded victories in first two games, but then relaxed a little, which led to a defeat at TD Garden (119:125). Of course Kyrie Irving and his partners were not happy with that result, so in the next match club again secured a victory (141:126).
Now club will try to finally finish the series against Celtics at New York and to advance in the next play-off round.
Brad Stevens squeezed everything out of his squad and advanced to the playoffs, but then the problems started. Team really needs to strengthen the squad after the season, otherwise they will have another tough season.
In four matches Boston managed to claim only one victory over Brooklyn, it was at TD Garden (125:119). Of course we should give credit Jayson Tatum, who is keeping the team in the game, but Celtics probably understand that they don't have many chances to even the score.
Celtics are devastated before the game at New York, because they were not expecting to leave the season so early, but they just couldn't contain the Nets' star trio, so it looks like Celtics are leaving the play-off tournament.

In our opinion, Nets won't slow down in this game and will play with maximum concentration. Hosts' game relies on attack and Celtics have nothing left to lose, so we expect an offensive basketball.
