The Boston Celtics follow up their first road game in over a week vs. the Miami Heat this past Friday (March 14) night with a trip to the Big Apple's Barclays Center to face the Brooklyn Nets on the back end of a back-to-back Saturday (March 15) evening.
While we don't know who will play for the Celtics given the contest the night before, we can expect at least some players to take the night off given the context and how late it is in the 2024-25 NBA season. And with the Nets looking likely to rest several of their key players for lottery odds reasons, this should be an easy win for the Celtics so long as they don't mail it in.
Let's take a look at player health for both teams, likely starters, and how to watch or stream the game.
Player injuries
For the Celtics, no report was available with a game the night before, but for that contest, Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jaylen Brown (knee) were out.
For the Nets, Nic Claxton (rest), Noah Clowney (ankle), De'Anthony Melton (ACL), Cam Thomas (hamstring), and Trendon Watford (hamstring) are out.
