1.88Tip and bets
Boston started the season well, but a little worse than last year. Brooklyn performance with this roster is also acceptable. Bookmakers' analysts consider the Celtics to be the clear favorites of the upcoming match. And that true. Joe Mazzulla team lacks stability, but it will definitely enter the playoffs as leaders. The current champions will have to win over a not-so-strong opponent.
Our prediction is a Boston victory with a handicap of (-7.5) points including overtime at 1.71
Bet on individual total
Boston will put its strongest lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Massachusetts shows high efficiency. The average score is 119.7. And in away games it is even a little higher - 121.6. And this time Mazzulla charges will be able to decently load the basket of a not very strong opponent.
Our prediction is Boston individual total over 117.5 points including overtime at 2.15
First half bet
The Boston basketball players are approaching the game with Brooklyn in a not very good mood after their home defeat to Atlanta. The Celtics, no doubt, will try to achieve victory and rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The players of the Massachusetts team will show who is the boss on the Toyota Center court from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Boston win in the first half of the game at 1.41
