Let’s tip it off with this first free pick going in this Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets Game 3 that’s set to start this Saturday, April 23rd, 2022 at 7:30pm et at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The latest NBA odds have Brooklyn Nets as a -3 point favorite against the spread and -155 on the moneyline. The over/under is currently sitting at 223 total points.
Boston took care of business at home and now up 2-0 in this Eastern Conference First Round series. The oddsmakers currently have the Celtics now as a -400 favorite to win this series outright. Boston is also the favorite to win the Eastern Conference at the +195 price and they currently have the third best odds to win the NBA Championship at +450.
For the Nets, Kevin Durant is averaging 25 points per game in the first two games of this series. That’s off being a horrible 13 of 41 from the field and 2 of 7 from 3-point land.
Durant is due for a huge bounce back performance, so I just put 2-Units on this Saturday NBA Player Prop for Kevin Durant to score over 29.5 points at the -120 price. I also just threw 3-Units on a Kyrie Irving NBA Player Prop, so if you want free access to it, then just text “Kyrie” to 702-234-0597.
As per reports today, the Nets guard Ben Simmons is set to make his season debut on Monday for Game 4. If Brooklyn if able to get this home game 3 win to make this series 2-1, it’s coming to very interesting to watch game 4 to see if having Simmons on the floor can tie up the series 2-2.
