Unlocking Friday’s NBA Cup Secrets: The Ultimate Daily Double Nobody Saw Coming
Furthermore, both teams have offensive edges. Brooklyn is seventh in offensive FT/FGA rate, and the Celtics are 30th in defensive FT/FGA rate. Boston is third in second-chance points per game (PPG), and the Nets are 26th in defensive rebounding rate. Brooklyn is third in 3-point attempt rate, and the Celtics are fourth, so a couple of hot-shooting quarters could push this total Over.
Also, Boston scores nearly 10 more PPG at home (119.0 vs. 109.1), and Brooklyn typically shoots a tick better on the road. The market’s sitting Celtics -15. My prediction before the odds posted was “Boston 124, Brooklyn 110”. I’m aligned with the market on spread, but I disagree on the total. Finally, since point differential is a tiebreaker in the NBA Cup, teams will keep trying to score late.
