Boston Celtics Preview
The Boston Celtics (45-28) have been one of the most in-form teams in the league since the All-Star break.
After a disappointing start, many suggested breaking up the young duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. However, their impressive turnaround in form means they could make some noise in the playoffs.
Following his impressive exploits, Tatum has walked his way into the MVP conversation. However, his main focus is helping the Celtics end the regular season on a high. They are fourth in the East as they look to maintain that position till the end of the regular season.
The Celtics have one of the best defenses in the league. So they will fancy their chances against the Jazz at home.
