T.M. Selection: Nets/Celtics OVER.

I am on the over in the Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics game on Sunday. The Nets have looked really good in their games lately and they have had a lot of high scoring affairs too. There has been 220+ total points in 3 games in a row for them now and I think this will be another high scoring game. The Nets haven't really looked good on the defensive end this year and I expect this to be another game that they give up a lot of points in. I think Tatum and Brown are playing too well at the moment and I don't see Durant stopping them that easily with his defensive effort here. He looked good with his defensive effort against the Cavs but they still gave up 108 points in that game and the Celtics have a much stronger scoring offense for them to stop here. I expect the Celtics to put up points here and I think the Nets are going to have to put up a ton of points themselves to keep up with the Celtics in this game. The Celtics have also looked really good lately and they have been really good in their home games. They have had 230+ total points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they put up 120+ points themselves in 4 of those games, including their 2 most recent games. Their defensive effort hasn't been that great either and they have given up 100+ points in 7/8 of their previous 8 games. I expect this offense to score with Tatum and Brown playing the way they have been but Durant and Irving have also been hot and I think they will have no issues putting up points with the way the Celtics have looked on defense too. I'm expecting a high scoring game here with a ton of points from both teams, I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 122-118 Celtics.
