The Celtics are heavily favored with a spread of -11.5. Boston is 30-35 against the spread this season, hitting 70% of the time. Kristaps Porzingis is probable to play after missing time with an illness. The Nets are struggling, having lost 10 of their last 11 games. Given the Celtics' strong record and Porzingis's return, betting on the Celtics to cover the spread is a solid pick.
