Nets vs. Celtics game preview: How to watch, lineups, broadcast info
The Brooklyn Nets (22-44) had a opportunity to make up ground in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament race against the Chicago Bulls before losing to them in another disappointing way. Brooklyn still has an outside shot of getting close to the 10th seed in the East, but they will have a tough test against the Boston Celtics (48-19) on Saturday and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 116-110 loss at the Bulls on Thursday in which they came into the game trailing Chicago by five games with the chance to close the gap to four games with a win. Despite Cam Thomas having one of his best games this season to the tune of 24 points, six rebounds, and 10 assists, Brooklyn had yet another game where they couldn't finish strong to come away with the win.
The Celtics enter this matchup after a 103-91 win at the Miami Heat on Friday in which Boston pulled away from Miami in the fourth quarter despite not having the services of Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis with their respective situations. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics in scoring with 28 points, but it was a struggle for him to get his points as he shot 8-for-21 from the field.
Here's when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:
