With a game in the books against the Nets already, we expect the Celtics to take Brooklyn a bit more seriously from the tip.

The Brooklyn Nets (5-6) are coming off an impressive 107-105 win at the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday in which Brooklyn almost dropped the ball in the end to a severely undermanned Pelicans squad. The Nets were also missing some key players, including forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who could be sidelined for an important game on Wednesday.
