The Celtics are coming into this game as a PK with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have been playing much better in their recent games and are coming into this on a win streak. The Nets have also been playing well and are the best team in the Eastern Conference right now but that also comes with a target on their backs. The Celtics will be looking to take them down here at home and the Nets have been relying on Kevin Durant too much in their games. He runs the offense but is getting no help scoring from James Harden and if that continues it will lead to problems for them. The best bet to place in this game is on the Celtics to cover the spread and to win this game straight up on the moneyline.
