Boston Celtics DFS SPIN
Kristaps Porzingis scored 13 points on 3/7 shooting, with six boards in the lopsided win over Indiana. The Unicorn has settled in well with his new squad, and after scoring 30 points in his first trip to NYC this season, he comes into a good spot to double down here. The former Knicks forward could play deeper into this game, as the Nets may wind up keeping things close throughout the contest. Porzingis is averaging 18.8 ppg and 7.3 rpg thru five games.
Brooklyn Nets DFS SPIN
Dorian Finney-Smith scored 21 points on 8/14 shooting, with five threes, and three boards. The Portsmouth native has been more involved after coming from Dallas at the deadline last season, and he’s been consistent from deep early in. The former Florida forward has hit multiple threes in each of the first five games, and he’s hit four of more in three of those contests. Finney-Smith is averaging 15.4 ppg, on 50% shooting from deep, and 5.0 rpg thru five games.

Celtics vs Nets NBA BETTING PREDICTION
Every time I see this matchup I think of the vivid trade history between these two teams. For this matchup, I like targeting the hosts, as Brooklyn has shown a lot of fight early on this season. The Nets took all three games during their road trip, and there’s a good chance they can make use of this near double digit margin. Back Brooklyn to cover at the Barclays this Saturday.
