You don’t need me to tell you Kevin Durant has struggled through two games of the Brooklyn Nets’ playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and the Nets won’t win a single game if he doesn’t play better.
Durant is shooting a paltry 32% from the field – including 0-for-10 in the second half of Game 2 on Wednesday – with 12 turnovers. He’s looked as human as we’ve ever seen him look on a basketball court, and much of it is due to a Boston defense that has been amazing all season.
For those who expect this to continue when the series moves to Brooklyn on Saturday, now is the time to put your bets in. Odds that Boston gets the sweep are +450 on Tipico Sportsbook. But I must warn you: it’s probably not a wise decision to bet against Durant.
