Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets: Current situation
Boston is just 1 win away from 50 on the season, this is the perfect game to achieve that feat and get a bit closer to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the standings. Odds of the Celtics catching the Cavs are very slim at this point, the main priority for the defending champions is to remain healthy come playoff time. The Knicks in the 3rd seed are no threat to overtake them either.
Brooklyn has long been eliminated from playoff contention, they are in a battle with the Philadelphia 76ers currently for the 3rd worst record in the East. That would, of course, increase their odds of landing the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. From that perspective it makes more sense for the Nets to lose games, rather than to win, as odd as that sounds.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Boston had 3 players scoring 20+ points in their last game, which was the win over Brooklyn on Saturday. As a team they made a modest 13 threes which is well below their season average of 18 per game. Porzingis returning from injury and looking like he hasn’t missed a beat was a great sign if you’re a Celtics fan, however there are some areas that require working as we enter the final stretch of this regular season.
Brooklyn Nets Stats & Form
In Saturday’s game the Nets had a couple of players score 20+ in Cameron Johnson and Keon Johnson. It’s not often we get to see the Celtics get outscored from three-point land, but that’s exactly what happened on Saturday as the Nets knocked down 20 of them. They also won the rebounding battle, coming up with 18 boards on the offensive end.
Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets: Head-to-Head
Tuesday’s game concludes the regular season series between the two teams, the Celtics have a chance to sweep for the 2nd season in a row having won all 3 meetings so far. They’re on a 7-game win streak in head-to-head meetings, that has pushed their overall lead to 144 wins to 74 wins in the all-time regular season series.

Betting tip and prediction: Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets (18.03.2025)
These two teams actually played each other just a couple of days ago in Brooklyn, in a game in which the Celtics came out on top 115-113. The oddsmakers had Boston as a double-digit favorite in that game, but the Nets were able to hold their ground despite that. It’s a similar story ahead of Tuesday’s game, with the spread going to up as many as 14.5 points with some oddsmakers. Only once in 3 meetings this year did Boston dominated Brooklyn, which could be a good indicator of what’s to come on Tuesday. Kristaps Porzingis successfully returned to the line-up after missing several weeks due to an illness, he had an efficient 24 points in the win on Saturday. Derrick White was absent in that game, but picking up the slack was Payton Pritchard who scored 22 off the bench. The disparity in talent is quite obvious here, but if the Nets are able to set a low block like they have in the 2 meetings earlier this year, they will make life difficult for the defending champions here. Boston is a team that relies heavily on the three-point shot, more often than not that has come back to haunt them this season. Brooklyn has excelled in that area over their last 3 games, holding opponents to just 31.3% shooting so they’ll be optimistic ahead of Tuesday’s game. All the pressure is on Boston here, so the Nets players can relax and play their style freely. In their last 6 games overall the Nets have covered the spread 4 times. We are backing the underdog road team here.
