NBA prediction
Constants that continue: the prodigious advance of the Boston Celtics continues who, after inflicting their first defeat on Cleveland, aim for their primacy or in any case persevere in their victories, consolidating their second place in the East while the unpredictability of Minnesota also continues, wins against teams where the prediction is more difficult for them and then loses against more manageable opponents even if, in the NBA, easy games are rare. Thus, with this uncertainty and with a less than brilliant record, Edwards and Randle will try to surprise also and above all to find a performance that at least can give more self-esteem to the team, significantly lowered by the twentieth consecutive defeat in Toronto against the Raptors: a KO where no more rebounds, a better percentage from three and from the foul line were enough when in the final and decisive quarter, Barrett and Barnes took off.
Awaiting the discontinuous Twolves, therefore, is a Boston that appears ferocious, aware and at its maximum potential. The accelerator against Washington was only pressed in the second half but that was enough to then win with a reassuring margin. Jaylen Brown broke away from the group of the best in the green jersey (white against the Wizards): 31 points for him, 15 more than the two best next, Holiday and Tatum.
