Towards an easy victory for Boston against Brooklyn?
Content designed and provided by SportSight
The Boston Celtics host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night in the NBA. Despite excellent results lately, the Celtics have been relegated to second place in the Eastern Conference by the Milwaukee Bucks, who are unstoppable (16 straight wins). Boston therefore remains in ambush and the reception of Brooklyn is an opportunity to come back up to par.
The Brooklyn Nets, they no longer think of the podium of the conference. In full reconstruction of their team, they are in free fall in the standings and must now resist the pressure from Miami not to get out of the top 6, directly qualifying for the play-offs.

Boston: news and form
Long leaders of the Eastern Conference with the best record in the league, the Celtics saw the Bucks put a big boost to grab the top spot. However, the finalists of the last exercise do not have much to reproach themselves for. They have excellent results, maintain an impressive consistency and they should be ready when the play-offs start.
Boston is, indeed, difficult to take at the moment. Their only three defeats in February are to be put on the back of match facts such as injuries or exclusions. The rest of the time, the Celtics have mastered their subject, as shown by their authoritarian successes against the Philadelphia Sixers (3rd) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (4th).
We must therefore expect to see the Celtics in full possession of their means, and motivated by the objective of recovering the throne of the conference. Jayson Tatum had a very big game Wednesday night against Cleveland with 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. He will be the spearhead, once again, of Boston’s well-oiled attack against Brooklyn.
Brooklyn: topicality and form
Brooklyn’s season has turned around and the Nets’ eyes now seem to be on the downside. As expected, the massive renewal of the workforce will take time to bear fruit. Today we see a starting five made up of four new players who arrived in February.
The workforce is certainly not lacking in talent, and it would have enough to win a place in the play-off if it was given a season to set itself up. But, 20 games from the end of the regular season, Brooklyn will run out of time. Its meager ratio of two wins to eight losses since the trades of Irving and Durant puts Brooklyn on the edge of the top 6, and Miami is less than two wins behind.
The Nets’ biggest problem is with their defense. The 142 points conceded against New York on Wednesday night, yet not known for its attack, illustrate this well. So, faced with one of the best attacks in the league, the bill is likely to be steep.

The Celtics advance as big favorites of the meeting. The question is rather how many points will they impose and they should pass the bar of 10 points without too many problems.
