Celtics – Nets Tip Basketball NBA, Regular Season on Saturday, 11/22/25 at 1:30 a.m.
A few years ago, Brooklyn could have become the best team of all time. But NBA icons Durant, Harden, and Irving, who were stranded in New York at the time, were never able to reach their full potential together.
Now the franchise is a shadow of its former self, and my Celtics Nets tip predicts another heavy defeat on Friday night. Incidentally, most sports betting providers focusing on basketball agree.
Admittedly, Boston is also playing a season below its potential, but the recent upswing and existing potential should be enough to clearly defeat this opponent for the second time in a few days.
Celtics vs. Nets Predictions:
Our Celtics Nets AI prediction has outlined betting scenarios for me that I would probably have come up with myself after watching the C’s 113-99 victory in the first game of the doubleheader.
The selection Jaylen Brown: 25+ points at odds of around 1.52 on the Betano app seems to be a very safe pick, considering his performance a few days ago.
The tricky guard scored 29 points on Wednesday, seamlessly continuing his top performance against the Clippers (33 points) shortly before.
My prediction: He should easily score a dozen baskets from open play against a lethargic defense like the Nets’.
The selection for most rebounds: Payton Pritchard at odds of around 17.50 suggests at first glance that German betting providers have relegated this scenario to the realm of fairy tales and legends.
It’s certainly not very likely – but do you know who grabbed the second-most loose balls in the game a few days ago? Pritchard, with only one rebound less than Claxton (11).
Boston: I also really like the AI suggestion of over 116.5 points at odds of 1.60. The C’s are now playing much stronger at home and have exceeded this mark in each of their last three home games against the Clippers, Wizards, and Grizzlies, all of which they won.
