Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics Pick
This market exemplifies what bettors can expect when they look to book a team like Boston on its own court. Essentially, you pay a premium to back the Celtics when they are at home because they are so strong there. This situation is only enhanced by the presence of the Nets who have been in perpetual sell mode in recent campaigns. Given the nature of this contest on the holiday it falls on, Boston can be looking to simply get this game over with and move on to New Year’s Eve celebrations. This opens the door for Brooklyn to not only steal a cover here but perhaps a win outright. Teams like Brooklyn are also prone to take back an inflated price tag by virtue of the fact they are hard to team to sell otherwise. When you factor in these three variables, the Nets are a true value play. Grab the points.
