Stephen Nover's NBA Monday Spread Crusher
(NBA) Brooklyn vs. Boston, 04/10/2017 3:30 PM, Score: 105 - 114
Point Spread: 11.00 | -110.00 Brooklyn (Away)
Result: Win
Boston isn't playing well enough to cover this inflated number. The Celtics have surrendered 114 or more points in four of their last five games.

The Celtics have failed to cover during their last five home games and are 2-6 ATS the past eight times meeting below .500 teams. On tap for Boston is a revenge game against the Bucks at home on Wednesday.

Brooklyn has been under the radar going 11-11 in its last 22 games, including going 4-1 in its last five games. The Nets have been getting contributions from unsung players such as Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie and Rondae-Hollis Jefferson. Brooklyn is more respectable with Jeremy Lin healthy. Brook Lopez is having a nice season, too.

The Nets have covered in seven of their last nine away contests. Only once in their last 14 games have they lost by double digits. They rank 12th in points per game so they have the offense to take advantage of Boston's recent defensive woes.
