The Brooklyn Nets are still without a few rotation players, and it’s led to some spotty play despite the victories. The Boston Celtics have quietly gotten their season back on track, and they’re winning their last five games by an average of 8.2 points. The Celtics seem like the type of team that can still get up for big games. The Nets also are thin right now with so many guys missing. I lean Celtics here at home.
