Our predictions for the Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics playoff series

Boston Celtics are coming into this series with winning momentum behind their backs. Since they made light work of the Wizards in their only play-in game, they are also fresh and perhaps not feeling the ill effects from an accumulation of games.

Will the Brooklyn Nets Keep Superstar James Harden Under a Minutes Restriction in the Upcoming NBA Playoffs?

But the bad news for them is that Jaylen Brown is out for the next three months after going a successful surgery on his dislocated wrist. Hence, to be brutally honest, it will be a long shot for them if they take the series past the fifth game.

However, on the bright side, the Nets trio of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant haven’t played together much this season. The eight times that they have been together on the court have only yielded mixed success. So, in some ways, it is a litmus test for them.

Coming to our predictions, we are still backing the Nets to cruise into the second round in five games (4-1).
