Brooklyn limps in at 0-3 with no player capable of matching Boston's star power, while the Celtics are riding their first win streak of the season after blowing out Chicago. Even with Derrick White resting, Boston's depth dwarfs what the Nets can put on the floor, making -11.5 a number I'm comfortable laying at TD Garden.

Everyone's sleeping on these Nets because they're 0-3, but Boston is playing their SECOND game of a back-to-back after blowing out Chicago the night before — tired legs are a gift to underdogs! The injury reports are nearly clean on both sides, meaning the Celtics have no excuses but also no extra gas in the tank to blow another team out by double digits, and Brooklyn's Julius Randle has been their leading man across every major stat category. Eleven and a half points is too many to lay on a fatigued squad — the Nets keep it scrappy and cover!
