Blogdan tazee :)) Brooklyn Nets at Boston Celtics Though the two teams may not have Finals aspirations this season, there will be much fanfare surrounding the upcoming Nets and Celtics match up. This is because it will be the first game that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett play against the Celtics as Nets players. The duo were traded to the Nets in a major move, which was a resounding success for the team. The Nets are actually 9-1 in their last 10 games, indicating that the experiment has been a success. This will actually be the first time that Paul Pierce has played against the Celtics in his career. Many are wondering whether this will be an emotional journey for Pierce, who was the franchise player for the team for over a decade. Former Celtics coach Doc Rivers has a similar experience when he returned with the Los Angeles Clippers. The game will also be meaningful for both teams as they push for a playoff spot. The Celtics are just 3-19 in their last 19 games, so they will want to turn things around soon. Even though Boston is rebuilding, the Celtics team has made some major improvements under the guidance of their new head coach Recent Betting Trends: Nets are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Celtics are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Under is 6-1 in Celtics last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. Nets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Pick: Brooklyn Nets -4.5 The Nets have finally figured out how to get the best of this veteran unit, Brooklyn has won 9 of last 10 games straight up and 8-2 ATS.
