Boston vs Brooklyn. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA

After a sudden defeat to Indiana (107:128) Boston started to get victories once again. In two latest matches Ime Udoka's men beat Atlanta (107:98) and Memphis (120:107). Approaching the end of regular season, Celtics finally started to play better. 

Celtics are currently at the 5th position in the Eastern Conference standings. Now they are unlikely to lose a play-off spot, because a 7th-placed Toronto is four games away. 

Kevin Durant's return didn't help Brooklyn in any way. In the latest match Nets were defeated by Miami (107:113). Durant has scored 31 points, made four assists and collected four rebounds. But it is too difficult for him to carry the team all by himself. He will have a little bit of a break tonight, because Kyrie Irving will play. 

In last two and a half weeks, Nets have won only one match. They recorded an away victory over Milwaukee (126:123). After recent defeats, Brooklyn have slipped to the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Steve Nash's men need to raise their level of performance in order to get into the play-off zone.
