None of the other four Christmas day games hit on my model run, with the exception of BKN vs BOS. My model barely favors the Nets. Kemba Walker is out, so it’s a matchup between Irving vs Dinwiddie and Durant vs Tatum – both favor the Nets. I reckon bench play for both teams will be a wash. Brad Stevens gets the nod over newbie Steve Nash (D’Antoni really), but a well rested Nets team playing the Celtics on their home turf won’t really be home court advantage this early on in a Covid year. It will be close, but Nets will cover.
