Match Preview: Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics

The Brooklyn Nets will face the Boston Celtics on 17th April 2022, in what will be the 1st game of the series between them in the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs 2022.

Boston has been one of the best teams in the league since the start of 2022, and they have set their expectations quite high, as they prepare themselves to face a tough test against the Nets.

The Nets on the other hand have got Kyrie and KD playing together, and that’s what they needed, as their duo is capable of defeating any team in the league by themselves.
