For the third time in four Mondays this month, the Brooklyn Nets will play the Boston Celtics.
This time, the scene shifts back to TD Garden in Boston, where on Jan. 7 the Celtics handed the short-handed Nets their most lopsided loss of the season in a 116-95 runaway.
Brooklyn (27-23) has won seven of eight games since that loss, including breaking a 10-game losing streak to Boston with a 109-102 win at Barclays Center on Jan. 14.
The Nets have lost five straight at Boston (30-19), which leads the Nets by 3½ games for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
