Celtics at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 122, Nets 112

Moneyline

At the moment, I’d try to get the CELTICS (-145) moneyline before the odds get worse. I would only play this at -150 or better, so if it gets closer to -200, then I’d only consider taking Boston to win in parlays.

Against the spread

CELTICS -2.5 (-118) is an intriguing wager as it feels like this should be a bigger spread with Durant sidelined for the Nets. There’s a chance Boston rests some players on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, but the Celtics are still the superior team.

The Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days of rest. Boston is also 5-0 ATS in its last 5 road meetings against Brooklyn and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings overall.

Over/Under

Even with Durant out, OVER 227.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. Both of these teams are top 5 in offensive rating this season.

The Nets are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 games playing on 3 or more days of rest. The Over is also 9-4 in the last 13 meetings between the Celtics and the Nets.

  • F Zion Williamson (hamstring) out

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Nets at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 121, Pelicans 115

Moneyline

I’ll go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Nets being the favored team on the road. Taking Brooklyn straight up isn’t advised at the current odds, but taking the Nets in a parlay is fine.

Against the spread

NETS -4.5 (-105) appears to be the ideal choice in this game. While Brooklyn is coming off of a loss, New Orleans doesn’t have Ingram or Williamson available against 1 of the better teams in the NBA.

The Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record. Above all, the Nets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road meetings against the Pelicans.

Over/Under

Even though Ingram and Williamson aren’t playing, OVER 231.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning. Both of these teams are in the top 7 in offensive rating and top 13 in true-shooting percentage.

The Nets have gone Over in each of their last 4 games against a team with a winning record while the Pelicans are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 games coming off 1 day of rest. The Over is also 14-2 in the last 16 meetings in New Orleans and 24-5 in the last 29 meetings overall.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Nets at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 126, Bulls 116

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Nets being favored on the road. The risk of taking Brooklyn to win on the road at the current odds isn’t worth the return.

Against the spread

NETS -5.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning given how well Brooklyn has been playing. Amid the team’s 12-game winning streak, the Nets have won 7 of those games by 6-plus points.

The Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a win of 10-plus points. Also, the Nets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road meetings against the Bulls.

Over/Under

All the trends point toward the Under being the ideal choice in this game, but I’ll take OVER 236.5 (-105) mainly due to the scoring potential of the Nets. Both of these teams are top 12 in true-shooting percentage this season.

The Bulls have gone Over in each of their last 4 games playing on 1 day of rest and they’ve gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games overall.

Nets at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 126, Hawks 113

Moneyline

Even though the Nets should secure a win on Wednesday, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. Betting on Brooklyn to win straight up isn’t worth doing considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Nets do win.

Against the spread

NETS -5.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with how well Brooklyn has been playing recently. The status of Hawks G Trae Young is also uncertain after he exited Tuesday’s game against the Pacers with an injury.

The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Over/Under

Even if Young is inactive, OVER 236.5 (-112) appears to be the ideal choice in this game. The Nets are the No. 1-ranked team in true-shooting percentage and we’ll get enough points from the Hawks late in the game to hit the Over.

The Nets are 7-3 to the Over in their last 10 games. The Hawks are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games following a loss.

Nets at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 115, Nets 111

Moneyline

It should be a closely contested game on Monday, but with Cleveland playing at home, CAVALIERS (-130) is an enticing wager. The Cavaliers are 16-3 at home this season while the Nets own a 9-7 record on the road.

Against the spread

Even though the Nets should keep it close in this contest, CAVALIERS -2.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning. The Cavaliers match up pretty well with the Nets as they have F Evan Mobley to guard F Kevin Durant on the defensive end.

The Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road meetings with the Cavaliers. Cleveland is also 4-0-2 ATS in its last 6 games following a loss.

Over/Under

OVER 221.5 (-105) is a solid bet in this game and feels too low for how well both of these teams can score. The Nets and the Cavaliers are both in the top 12 in offensive rating and top 11 in true-shooting percentage this season.

The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Nets and the Cavaliers.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Bucks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 119, Nets 115

Moneyline

Even though Middleton isn’t expected to suit up on Friday night, BUCKS (+125) is a solid wager in this game. The Nets have certainly looked great in recent weeks, but it’s tough betting against Antetokounmpo following a loss.

Against the spread

Being that I took them to win, BUCKS +2.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game. It should be a close contest on Friday night.

The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss. Also, the Bucks are 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 road meetings against the Nets and 36-16-1 ATS in the last 53 meetings overall.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-115) is an intriguing bet in this game as both teams are capable of scoring points in bunches. There have been 229-plus points scored in 4 of the last 5 matchups between the Bucks and the Nets.

The Bucks have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Nets have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 games overall.

Nets at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Wizards 111

Moneyline

I’ll PASS on the moneyline given the current odds for the Nets (-210). Brooklyn has been the much better team as of late, but taking them straight up isn’t advised.

Against the spread

NETS -5.5 (-105) is an enticing wager considering how Brooklyn has been playing recently. The Nets will have F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving back on the court Monday while the Wizards still won’t have Beal available.

The Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record and they are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings with the Wizards.

Over/Under

Even with Beal ruled out for tonight’s game, OVER 228.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this contest. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating, so plenty of points could be scored in this game.

The Wizards are 3-0-2 to the Over in their last 5 games and they are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Hawks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 117, Hawks 108

Moneyline

Even though the Nets are favored to win at home, AVOID the moneyline in this game. Taking Brooklyn straight up isn’t worth doing considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Nets win.

Against the spread

NETS -6.5 (-120) appears to be the logical choice in this game with how both of these teams have been playing recently. The Hawks are without Murray, so G Trae Young is going to be relied on to initiate most of the offense.

The Hawks are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Plus, Atlanta is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 road meetings against Brooklyn.

Over/Under

With Murray sidelined for the Hawks, UNDER 227.5 (-105) is an intriguing wager in this game. Young can score points in bunches for the Hawks despite his shooting woes thus far, but he won’t be enough to hit the Over.

The Hawks have hit the Under in 13 of their last 17 road games against a team with a winning home record. Meanwhile, the Nets have gone 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 games.

Nets at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 117, Nets 107

Moneyline

I typically don’t take any bets straight up unless it’s below -150 odds, so with the odds shifting a little to -140, I’ll happily take them straight up. Bet  TRAIL BLAZERS -140.

Against the spread

TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 (-110) is the ideal choice in this game with Portland being the superior team right now. With Lillard back in the lineup, the Trail Blazers look like a team that could make some noise in the Western Conference.

The Trail Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following 1 day of rest. Meanwhile, the Nets are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss.

Over/Under

Most of the trends point toward the Under being the move in this game, but give me OVER 220.5 (-105). Both of these teams are top 7 squads in true-shooting percentage and the Nets have the 10th worst defensive rating in the NBA.

The Over is 6-1 in Portland’s last 7 games against a team with a losing record.

Analyzing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at Dallas Mavericks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (4-6) take on the Dallas Mavericks (5-3) Monday at American Airlines Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Mavericks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nets have strung together 2 straight wins despite not having G Kyrie Irving or G Ben Simmons available. Brooklyn’s latest victory was a 98-94 road triumph over the Charlotte Hornets where it pushed as a 4-point favorite.

The Mavericks are on a 3-game win streak. Dallas defeated the Toronto Raptors 111-110 Friday, failing to cover as a 4-point home favorite.

Nets at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 114, Nets 105

Moneyline

Considering the current odds, I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game. The Mavericks (-260) should be able to take care of business at home against a shorthanded Nets squad, but the risk isn’t worth the reward.

Against the spread

Even if Simmons can return for the Nets, I like MAVERICKS -6.5 (-105) as they’ve looked better in recent games. Brooklyn won’t have any answers for G Luka Doncic, who has scored 31-plus points in each of his first 8 games of the season.

The Nets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a win.

Over/Under

OVER 217.5 (-108) is the ideal wager in this game, even with Irving suspended and Simmons possibly sidelined for the Nets again. The Nets and the Mavericks squared off Oct. 27 in a game where Dallas won 129-125 in overtime.

The Over is 4-0 for the Mavericks in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.
