Celtics vs. Nets: NBA Best Bets & Picks (Wednesday)

The Hawks couldn’t hold off a late surge by the Trail Blazers on Monday, giving us our first losing day in a week, going 1-2 ATS. Even still, I’m optimistic heading into the rest of the week as we look to bounce back on a busy Wednesday slate. Here are my top picks for today. Below you can find a closer look at Celtics vs. Nets.

Today's Best NBA Bets: Celtics vs. Nets

Let's take a closer look.

Celtics vs. Nets

With KD out to start the year, it’s safe to say that the Nets have been overachieving. Coming into this game, the Nets have now won four of their past five, going 5-1 ATS over that span behind an offense that has been on fire.

They have, however, largely avoided any top-tier teams, beating up on the likes of the Lakers and Knicks while dropping many of their tougher road games. Now they head to Boston.

Red hot to start the year, the Celtics have slid a bit, losing three of their last four. They need to get back on track and fast, as the home stretch of the season is around the corner. Largely healthy coming into this one, I think the Celtics get the win and cover at home.

Bet: Celtics -8.5 (-110)
