Dinwiddie wins it for Nets

The Nets (9-8, 4-5 away) were outscored 31-27 in the fourth quarter by the Cavs but managed to find a way to the win.

Jarrett Allen had a monster game with 22 points, 21 boards, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Joe Harris tallied 19 points, six caroms and two steals.

NBA Betting Trends

Brooklyn

The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last six games versus the Atlantic Division. Brookyln is 2-6 ATS in its last eight Wednesday games.

Boston

The Celtics are 4-1-2 ATS in their last seven games versus the Eastern Conference. Boston is 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Prediction:

Brooklyn has taken advantage of a pretty soft schedule as Kyrie Irving remains out with a shoulder injury, but that ends here. Boston is likely to have Kemba Walker back tonight after he missed time following a scary injury. With the court leader back on the floor, this one could become one-sided quickly as the Nets can only go as far as Dinwiddie takes them. Considering the Celtics' backcourt defense is outstanding, it might be difficult for Dinwiddie to have his usual output. Take the hosts in this spot.
