CELTICS/NETS: ROGERS O/U SPECIAL! (OFF 4-1 FRIDAY!)
(NBA) Boston vs. Brooklyn,
Total: 222.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Brooklyn finds itself down 0-2 in this best of seven series and while they are now at home, the Nets’ ATS record at the Barclays Center this season (9-32) leaves a lot to be desired. It is in fact the worst home ATS record in the NBA. So I’m not interested in playing them in Game 3.

Games 1 and 2 both finished close to the oddsmakers’ total. Game 1 just went Over while Game 2 just stayed Under. I think Game 3 is likely to be the lowest scoring game of the series.

Boston is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA and on the road, they give up an average of just 105.2 points per game. Brooklyn is 4-0 Under when trailing in a playoff series.

The Nets have actually shot better from the field than have the Celtics so far, 51.3% to 47.7%. I do not believe the Nets can stay over 50% against the defensive-minded Celtics. On the flip side, the Celtics won’t shoot as well as they did in Game 2 when they finished at 52.0%.

Brooklyn is shooting 46% from three in the series, which will be a difficult percentage to maintain. The Under is 21-8 in Brooklyn home games when the total is 220 points or higher. Take the UNDER.
