The Celtics have a strong home record, going 17-5 in home games, and they are fourth in the Eastern Conference when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc, led by Malcolm Brogdon who is shooting 45.4% from 3-point range.
Jaylen Brown, who is averaging 27.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, remains questionable for the Celtics due to right adductor tightness, although he was able to practice Wednesday fully. Brown has been sidelined for three straight games.
This should be an exciting matchup, and fans can expect a competitive game filled with plenty of scoring highlights. Be sure to tune in to TNT for live TV and streaming broadcast or follow live GameCast and box score updates.
