PREVIEW: The Brooklyn Nets aim to halt a six-game home losing streak when hosting the Boston Celtics on November 18, 2025. Boston's success this season has largely come from their defense, which ranks second in the league, allowing just 109.2 points per game. The Celtics excel at forcing opponents into low-quality three-pointers, ranking first in defensive discipline against perimeter shooting, while maintaining the league's lowest turnover rate. Offensively, Boston has struggled somewhat, averaging 113.8 points per game as it continues to rely heavily on Jaylen Brown, who has been the team's best scorer, averaging 27.4 points per game. The Nets have one of the league's weakest offenses, averaging 110.5 points per game and conceding 121.9 points on the defensive end. Brooklyn compensates with high-volume three-point shooting, ranking third in frequency at 48.4 percent of their attempts from deep, though they rank 26th in efficiency from range. Much of Brooklyn's scoring has fallen to offseason arrival Michael Porter Jr., who is averaging 24.1 points per game, with Nic Claxton providing consistent support at 15.2 points per game. The Celtics are 10.5-point favorites over the Nets on the spread, with the over/under set at 223.5 total points.
