Celtics vs Nets preview
If the Celtics can take care of the Nets in Boston tonight, they’ll complete the season sweep following three straight wins over their Atlantic Division rivals since the start of the campaign.
The pair recently met on Saturday in Brooklyn when the Celtics narrowly came out victorious on Kristaps Porzingis’ return to the floor after missing seven straight games with a mystery viral illness.
The defending champions are expected to take a fully healthy roster into the match-up with the exception of Jaylen Brown who seems to be carrying a number of knocks, having been an early exit at the weekend with a back issue.
The Nets are almost certainly out of the play-in picture and Brooklyn are simply playing for pride at this point, hoping to secure a lucrative position in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft with a chance of landing Duke sensation Cooper Flagg.
Boston on the other hand is aiming to become the first back-to-back champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, and with the Eastern Conference seemingly at their mercy bar an upset, they should give it a good go.
