Brooklyn scores over 110 points in every single game of the series
Since James Harden joined the Nets in January, regardless of whether or not all three superstars played together, the Nets have failed to score 110 or more points in just 15 of their 59 games. On the season, the Nets averaged 118.6 points per game, the second-best scoring margin in the league, and as a result, they are going to find a lot of success offensively against the Celtics.
Jaylen Brown was one of the Celtics’ best two-way players all season long and with Marcus Smart dealing with a nagging ankle issue right now, things do not look good for the Celtics in terms of finding success defensively against the Nets.

Boston did rank 14th in the league in defensive rating during the regular season, but with some key defenders out and the Nets at full strength, it is hard to imagine that Brooklyn struggles at any point in this series scoring the basketball.
Unless shots just are not falling for them, they are going to show how much of an offensive juggernaut they are and I truly believe Brooklyn uses this series to create fear amongst other teams in the league.
There have been a lot of questions about the Brooklyn Nets’ team chemistry heading into the playoffs, especially since their full team has barely played together, but in this series against a banged up Boston team, expect to see the Nets not only shut down all of this “team chemistry” talk, but score over 110+ points in every single game.
