The Boston Celtics will face the Brooklyn Nets on 20th April 2022, in what will be the 2nd game of their 1st round series in the Eastern Conference. Boston was able to win the first game, and currently lead 1-0 in the series, with Game 2 being also played at their home court.
The Nets will be looking to bounce back in Game 2 after they lost a very close game in the first match, in which Tatum’s buzzer-beating game-winning layup sealed the deal for the home team.
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Williams III | C | Sun, Apr 17 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least Apr 23 |
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ben Simmons | PG | Thu, Apr 14 | Back | Expected to be out until at least Apr 25 |
| Joe Harris | SG | Sat, Mar 5 | Ankle | Out for the season |
This will be a bounceback game for Kevin Durant, as he performed quite badly in the 1st game of the series, which was one of the reasons why the Nets lost that game.
Tatum showed everyone in the first game of the series what he is capable of, and we can see the repetition of that performance in game 2 as well.

Again it will be a very tight match between two very good teams, but the Celtics might edge this one out again, as they look to go 2-0 up in the series at their home court.
