The Celtics are on the verge of a series sweep when they meet the Nets in Brooklyn on Tuesday. Boston come off a 109-103 win over the Nets in Game 3 as Tatum continued to dominate this series. He finished with 39 points and also picked up 6 steals. His offence has been impressive but his defence has been just as good. He’s kept Durant quiet throughout the first 3 games. The Celtics also got Robert Williams back from injury in Game 3 and he played 16 minutes off the bench. With the C’s up 3-0, they won’t take many risks with him at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n Brooklyn needs to show something in Game 4 as the likes of Irving and Durant have both struggled. In Game 3, Irving missed all 7 three-point attempts and finished with just 16 pts. Meanwhile, Durant also scored 16 pts and committed 5 turnovers. The one bright spot has been Bruce Brown and he totalled 26 pts \/ 8 boards in Game 3. They need to feed off his energy on both sides of the court. In injury news, Ben Simmons won’t play due to his ongoing back injury.<\/span><\/p>\n The Nets are favourites in the betting but they’re simply getting outclassed by the Celtics in this series. Brooklyn has also struggled on their home court and the Celtics defence gets stronger with Robert Williams returning from injury. Celtics to complete the sweep.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Brooklyn have covered in just 1 of their last 8 home games. Boston has lost 8 of their last 11 at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Celtics are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings and lead this series 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Boston Celtics Win = $1.96<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Raptors kept this series alive with a 110-102 win in Game 4 at home. Beating the 76ers in Philadelphia hasn’t been easy in this series but the Game 4 victory should give them more confidence. Pascal Siakam was the key in the win with 34 pts and 8 boards. But a hip injury to VanFleet could be a huge blow and he’ll be questionable for Tuesday’s matchup. If VanFleet can’t suit up, that will see Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes get more playmaking duties.<\/span><\/p>\n Philadelphia head back home with a 3-1 series lead and have won both games on their home court in this series. However, a thumb injury for Joel Embiid isn’t great news. He comes off 21 pts in Game 4 but struggled with 5 turnovers. Harden will also look to bounce back after shooting just 7 of 25. Maxey was quiet with 11 pts but he has been dominant on his home court in this series and he should be a good target in this matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n The 76ers are a much better team at home and they’ve trashed the Raptors in Philadelphia during this series. If Harden and Maxey pickup the offence with Embiid’s injury, the 76ers should have no problems finishing this series on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Philadelphia has covered in 4 of their last 5 home games. Toronto is just 2-6 ATS at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nToronto Raptors at Philadelphia 76ers<\/b><\/h2>\n
