The Boston Celtics will travel to Barclays Center to lock horns with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. The hosts, Nets, will enter the matchup on the back of a 12-30 record, with a three-game losing streak. The Celtics, on the other hand, are coming off a 27-16 record, with a solid win over the Indiana Pacers. 

The Celtics are heavy 8.5 point favorites with moneyline at -360 and total at 216.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Celtics are highly likely to continue their dominance and record a second-straight win. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for tonight’s game. 

Here’s how we are betting Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics tonight. 

Best Bet for Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics

Best Bet: Boston Celtics -8.5 (-106

Book: Best price at FanDuel 

Our best bet for Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics is Celtics -8.5 (-106) against the spread. 

The Boston Celtics are seeded second in the East, having won six of their last ten games. They have the second-best offense in the league, while their defense seeds them the 12th spot in the standings. The Nets, on the flip side, are one of the struggling teams this season, seeded at the bottom third spot in the standings. They have occupied a spot towards the bottom of the standings in terms of offense and defense. 

The spread at Celtics -8.5 fit them well considering their overall form and the Nets’ offensive and defensive struggles. 

Keeping the Celtics’ offensive and defensive edge as well as overall domination that they have maintained in the conference, we are laying the Boston Celtics -8.5 (-106) as our Best Bet. 

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics 

3-Leg SGP (Safer) 

  • Boston Celtics -10.5 alternate spread 
  • Jaylen Brown Over 30.5 points 
  • Payton Pritchard Over 18.5 points 

Combined odds: +750

We have built this same-game parlay around the Boston Celtics to dominate the Nets in their own backyard. Jaylen Brown dominates the Celtics’ offense, and Pritchard has established his reliability. We expect them to come up with a solid performance against the Nets, who are struggling offensively and defensively. 

These legs are correlated, considering if the Celtics take control of the game, their player gets volume and more opportunities to score. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Top Player Props for Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics

  • Michael Porter Jr. Over 23.5 points (-118)
  • Cam Thomas Over 14.5 points (-125)
  • Neemias Queta Over 8.5 rebounds (-130)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. Porter Jr. and Thomas dominate the Nets’ offense, and they are likely to push against a stronger Celtics’ team to keep themselves in the game tonight. Neemias Queta dominates the glass, and we expect him to do so tonight.
