<h2>
Boston Celtics at Brooklyn Nets Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Boston Celtics</b>
</p>
<p>
The Celtics have returned to Earth as they come in off their second consecutive loss on the road against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Boston closed as a 6.5-point favorite but fell short in The Sunshine State when they were edged out 107-105 by the Magic. The Celtics are 0-2 ATS over this two-game skid.
</p>
<p>
<b>Brooklyn Nets </b>
</p>
<p>
The Nets come into the contest on the heels of a bitter road loss on Friday when they were pummeled in the Great White North by another divisional nemesis, the Toronto Raptors. The Nets as a 10-point dog were crushed 122-105 failing to cover the spread.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Boston<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Celtics’ dominance in this series as of recent sets them up to be overvalued. When you combine this narrative with a bias toward recent results, the Celtics can find themselves prone to an overlay as an effect of a huge lean in this spot. The fact remains that the Celtics are 10-12 SU outside of Boston and they have won just one road game in their last five contests away from home. In all five games, the Celtics were also the chalk and went only 1-4 ATS over this span. Against a team like Brooklyn who still owns a fairly maligned public perception, the Celtics may find themselves spotting more points yet again as a result.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Brooklyn<br />
</h2>
<p>
In addition to Boston’s nefarious road record, the Nets have a huge advantage in their bench play. The Nets generate 47.2 points per contest from the bench compared to Boston’s bench which produces 39.5 points per game. This 7.7-point swing is a significant edge that Brooklyn can work towards its advantage with the deeper roster and home cooking also being an influence in this match-up.

Celtics at Nets Prediction 1/14/19

It is very tempting to trade the points in here and play this one outright as the upset possibility is significant in this game. However, we will play this one conservative and grab the points (though this would not be a bad game to split half of a wager on the Money Line). The Celtics continue to show that they are a dicey proposition on the road and the market is adept to this narrative. Thus, we see the Nets taking back a significantly less amount of points although the Celtics made the Nets look outclassed just a week ago. Nets cover this one if they don’t win outright.
