Celtics
If you had this game highlighted on the schedule before the season - let's be honest, who didn't - you probably had one team penciled into first place and the other wallowing down at the bottom of the standings. That's indeed the case, just not in the way anybody expected.
The first-place Celtics (10-12) head to Brooklyn to take on the Nets (6-14), who are even worse off than most teams in the horrendous Eastern Conference. Coming on the heels of a 41-point win in Manhattan on Sunday, this game gives the Celtics a chance to pull off the New York City sweep in addition to reuniting with two of the franchise's greats.
Kevin Garnett should be good to go, although Paul Pierce's status is unclear. Pierce seemed sure to miss the game when he broke a bone in his shooting hand a week and a half ago, but he told reporters on Monday that there is a 'good chance' he could suit up. Check back here on Tuesday to see how Pierce's status develops.
Join us for updates and analysis during the game, which tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
