Nets Playing with Grit
The Nets are 1-2 on the road, but lately, they’ve been playing better basketball. Brooklyn’s scoring has been inconsistent, but their defense is trending upward. The Nets are also starting to get more depth scoring, and they may be able to keep up with Boston in the three-point department. For the most part, they’ve managed to hang with a few strong offensive teams.
Brooklyn has been playing with grit and giving extra effort. Even during some rough shooting nights, they’ve found ways to improve. The Nets have been starting games with solid energy, and despite being undersized at times, their toughness has been evident. They’ll look to bring that same mentality early against the Celtics.
Celtics Finally Outplayed
The Celtics were finally outplayed this season, and it came at the hands of a team that has done it to them before: Stephen Curry’s Warriors. Sure, Boston was without stars Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porziņģis, but that hasn’t stopped them from stacking up victories. The Celtics jumped out to an early lead, going up by 11, but from there, they played from behind and were ultimately humbled. Boston will look for a full 48-minute effort against the Nets.
Despite the loss at home, Jayson Tatum is already among the favorites to win MVP this season. Tatum is averaging 30 PPG and is off to the best start of his career with the Celtics. He’s also playing well on both ends of the floor and is becoming more aggressive in big moments, opting to take the shot instead of passing it off. Tatum had that mentality against the Warriors, but the comeback ultimately fell short.
Nets vs Celtics Prediction
The Nets had some tough losses to start the season, but lately, the effort has been there. Brooklyn can definitely keep things close, and the offense has put up some impressive numbers. The Celtics, on the other hand, are looking to quickly rebound and get back to racking up easy wins. Boston is still a very talented team with great depth. The Celtics will aim to take an early lead and, this time, keep building on it.
