*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Tuesday, January 31st. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, February 1st.
Brooklyn Nets
Sitting in fourth the Nets enter this match 4.5 games back of their opponent with the 76ers and Bucks also ahead of them but within striking distance.
Kyrie Irving has taken the leadership role to keep his Nets in the mix while Kevin Durant is sidelined but equally impressive is the play of Nicolas Claxton.
The young big is having a breakout season and his effect on the defensive side of the hardwood is one of the primary reasons Brooklyn is one of the better defending clubs.
In the 10 games KD has been out Claxton is averaging a double-double of 17.6 points and 11.2 rebounds.
Stats
Brooklyn allows 111.5 points ranking sixth and possesses the second-best opponent field goal percentage of 45.3% but ranks 25th on perimeter defense as foes shoot 36.8% from deep.
Brooklyn scores 114.6 points per game ranking 14th. They own the best field goal percentage, shooting 50.9%, and rank second on the perimeter shooting 39.4% from deep.
Yuta Watanabe (back tightness) is probable while Ben Simmons (knee soreness) and T.J. Warren (left shin contusion) are out Wednesday. Kevin Durant remains out with an MCL sprain in his right knee.
Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum coyly smiled at the cameras and feigned amnesia when asked if he fouled LeBron James at the end of regulation.
While it was humorous it’s also was sort of expected since it would be unprecedented for a player who just got away with a foul to throw the very people who let him off the hook under the bus. Never mind that James traveled on the same play.
When asked why it matters to get out to a good start each season this is one of the reasons why – – teams who establish the best records and showcase defensive prowess are naturally more likely to get the benefit calls and this one specific play was an example of that.
Stats
Boston claims the third-best point production averaging 117.8 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.2% from the field and 37.0% from the perimeter ranking 16th and eighth respectively.
Opponents average 112.3 points per game which ranked 11th. Celtics opponents are limited to 46.7% from the field and 35.5% from the perimeter which ranks 10th and 12th respectively.
Robert Williams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday. Marcus Smart (ankle) is out indefinitely while Danilo Gallinari (ACL Repair) is out for the season.

Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Boston remains on top of the league but hasn’t been playing their best ball of late. In addition to the three-game losing streak Boston’s three wins in the last six were by a cumulative six points and could just as easily have resulted in losses.
Although the Celtics should get the win the fact they won’t have Smart and might not have Williams to deal with Claxton has me taking the points and if Williams is confirmed as out I might shift to the Nets winning SU.
