Boston Celtics @ New Jersey Nets
The New Jersey Nets tonight look to continue their recent domination of the Boston Celtics when they host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
New Jersey easily beat Boston in their last three meetings of the regular season with their average winning margin being a whopping 21 points. These teams met in the Eastern Conference finals last season when New Jersey recovered from a 2-1 deficit to win 4-2. Jason Kidd averaged a triple double in that series and expect him to step it up again tonight.
Boston have an unhealthy reliance on their two superstars in Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker. Unfortunately for the Celts Walker struggled mightily against Nets power forward Kenyon Martin during the regular season, averaging just 15.2 points per game on woeful 28% shooting.
The Nets have covered eight of the last ten against the Celtics and five of their last six Game 1's overall.....expect that run to continue tonight.
Recommended Play: Nets -7.5
