While the Boston Celtics have been atop the Eastern Conference for most of the season, the Brooklyn Nets are clawing their way back into the playoff picture. At four games back, it would not be too surprising to see the Nets take the eight seed. If they do and Boston stays in first place, Nets fans could see at least five more games against the Celtics.
But more pressingly, the Nets take on the Celtics tonight. Brooklyn is undefeated in 2018 and will to continue the streak against Boston. Boston, however, is on a five-game winning streak and are 2-0 against Brooklyn this season.
