Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets: NBA 2021 Preview and Prediction

The NBA is set to commence the weekend in some style as we have several action-packed games lined up. Friday night is set to host a strong clash between Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics.

Boston Celtics Current Form

Boston Celtics would be looking forward to continuing their fantabulous run of form before they step into the play-off fixtures. The game is set to be played at the Barclays Center and the Nets would be aiming for a 40th triumph of the season but the last season conference finalists Boston Celtics will not let it slip easily. 

The Celtics have done exceptionally well in the Eastern Conference. However, consistency has been a serious concern for them this season. The Celtics haven't been able to make their way into the top five of the table yet. 

Their recent wins over LA Lakers, Portland Trailblazers, Denver Nuggets, and Golden State Warriors has still kept them in the race, the team currently occupying the sixth position.

Boston Celtics Injuries

Jaylen Brown is out with a shoulder injury, Evan Fournier is out due to COVID-19, while Robert Williams is sidelined due to a knee injury.

Brooklyn Nets Current Form

The hosts have been brilliant this season and their position speaks for itself. Currently second in the Eastern Conference table, they are just a few days away from the post-season games.
