Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets. The NBA pick is the Brooklyn Nets. Jason Tatum was cold in his preseason match against the 76ers while Kemba Walker was injured leaving Tatum alone to lead Boston’s offense. This will be too much for the Celtics to face Brooklyn’s dynamic duo of Durant and Irving who have been itching to play since they were sidelined with season-ending injuries. Brooklyn is a serious contender in the Eastern Conference and will do a ton of damage in the league this season. The Nets win over the Celtics predicted at 114-105.
