Regular Season Records: Brooklyn 1-0; Boston 51-31

What to Know

After three games on the road, the Boston Celtics are heading back home. After a few days' rest for both teams, they and the Brooklyn Nets will meet up at 3:30 p.m. ET April 17 at TD Garden. If the matchup is anything like Boston's 126-120 win from their previous meeting in March, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Celtics' strategy against the Memphis Grizzlies last week. Everything went Boston's way against Memphis as they made off with a 139-110 victory. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 72-49. It was another big night for Boston's small forward Jayson Tatum, who shot 6-for-8 from downtown and finished with 31 points and nine boards.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn was able to grind out a solid victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last Tuesday, winning 115-108. The Nets' point guard Kyrie Irving looked sharp as he posted a double-double on 34 points and 12 assists.

The Celtics are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Boston have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 43.40%, which places them first in the league. But the Nets come into the game boasting the fourth highest field goal percentage in the league at 47.50%. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
