Nets 2-0, Celts 0-2. At first glance Nets seem like the play.

I like Celts -3.5 for my first play of the season.


Doc Rivers chose not to play Kevin Garnett Monday night in Philadelphia and no one on Boston’s roster logged more than 27 minutes of action. Paul Pierce played just 21 minutes and Rajon Rondo was on the court for a team-high 27 minutes. Rivers’ goal was to have his core ready for tonight’s game against Brooklyn, its first home game of the preseason.
On the other hand, the Nets’ head coach, Avery Johnson, was much more interested in his team’s game against the Washington Wizards than he is in tonight’s game against the C’s. His two highest paid players, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams, played 38 and 31 minutes respectively last night against Washington.
