The trio of James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving was labeled unstoppable. However, the NBA betting results were lacking. Cause of the inability to keep those three superstars on the hardwood. Injuries and COVID wreaked havoc on the Nets. In the second half of the season, Boston caught fire to become one of the favorites in the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Defense and team play is again a hallmark for the Celtics.
