Expert picks & predictions for Saturday’s Celtics vs. Nets game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Celtics to cover against the Nets:
"These teams split ATS this season, while the Celtics are 2-0 on the ML, and I think this game goes in Boston's favor. The Celtics rested a handful of players against Miami and won that game by double-digits. I think they will have some of those guys back and can win this game by double-digits too before they meet again on Tuesday."
