Match Preview: Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets

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.

Players to watch out for in Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets

  • Kevin Durant – Nets

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.

  • Jayson Tatum – Celtics

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.
