Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets will face off on March 18, 2025, at the T.D. Garden. Celtics will surely look to make the most of their home support. However, after a dismal run this year, the Brooklyn Nets, too, will want to salvage some pride.
Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets: Prediction
The Boston Celtics are having a dream run in this year’s NBA. Owing to their superb performance, the Celtics have been touted as the most likely team to win the NBA this year. Even though the Cleveland Cavaliers are leading the Eastern Conference with 56 wins and just 11 losses. With just a win shy of 50, the Celtics are currently second-placed with 49 wins and 19 losses. One of the biggest strong points for the Celtics is their defense. They have conceded just 108.2 points per game, which makes Jayson Tatum and co.’s team a stern opponent.
On the contrary, the Brooklyn Nets will be eager for a win. Moreover, languishing at 13th place, the likes of D’Angelo Russell are expected to fire for the Nets to win the game. At the moment, their playoff hopes look significantly bleak, with 23 wins and 45 losses.
