The Boston Celtics have been struggling for the past two seasons. They currently sit at the 10th spot in the eastern conference and one this pace they will barely make it to the play-in tournament. Jayson Tatum is slowly getting back to the volume scoring nights after a prolonged shooting slump.
They had a huge victory against Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night, however, they have been unable to go on a run to improve their standing so far. Building momentum has been a huge problem. The Celtics have not won more than 2 games in a row and they are in dire need of a longer streak to climb up the table.
Boston will face LA Lakers Wednesday night for the second time this season. After losing multiple stars to injuries, they finally have the entire starting lineup at their disposal. Celtics on the other will play one man down like last time.
Jaylen Brown listed questionable against Los Angeles Lakers due to hamstring strain
Jaylen Brown’s ailment was the reason behind the early playoff exit last season and a slow start this time. The all-star suffered a hamstring strain and missed 8 games in November as a result. He reaggravated it a few nights ago and remained sidelined ever since.
