NBA Preseason Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics 19:30 ET The Sixers of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris will look to get ready for the start of a new season. In this way, they will have their first friendly match against the Celtics, a team with which they lost in the first round of the previous championship. The Boston team, meanwhile, aspires to reach the NBA finals after failing to do so in the 2019-20 edition, where they were beaten by the Miami Heat in the semifinals. As for the possible starting lineups, although they are not yet confirmed, the Celtics would start with Jeff Teague, Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams. The Sixers, meanwhile, would go with Ben Simmons, Danny Green, Matisse Thybulle, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid. LIVE STREAM

NBA Sunday Night Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Game 6 19:30 ET The Celtics looked like a completely different basketball team in Game 5 on Friday. After playing hot potato with the ball and turning it over 19 times in the previous game, they played with more discipline and cleaned up their act to avoid elimination from the playoffs. They only gave away 11 turnovers in their bounce-back 121-108 victory, while also forcing 13 turnovers from the Heat. The Heat are sadly mistaken if they don’t think the pressure is on them on Sunday. A Game 7 essentially restarts the series and pulls everything into a one-off contest. Teams get hot randomly over the course of a season. The last thing the Heat need is going into a game against a Celtics team capable of burying them from long-distance. Imagine coming this far just to see the entire season go up in smoke due to an opponent’s hot shooting night. LIVE STREAM

NBA Friday Night Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Game 5 20:30 ET A dramatic night is coming in the 2020 NBA playoffs in which the Eastern Conference final could be resolved if the Miami Heat is able to put the finishing touch to the tie against the Boston Celtics, who are on the brink of the abyss. It is difficult to think of a comeback for the Celts, but you have to go game by game and in this fifth they will have to leave their skin and trust that Jayson Tatum unfolds her full potential and that they can stop Jimmy Butler and company. This is the first time since 2014 that the Heat have reached a conference final, while for the Celtics it is their third time in the past four seasons. Miami is ahead 3-1 after winning 112-109 in Game 4 of the series, where Tyler Herro swept with 37 points. In this way, the Heat are one win away from advancing to the tournament's grand finale, while Boston will look to force a sixth game. LIVE STREAM

NBA Wednesday Night Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Game 4 We enter a crucial Game 4 in the Eastern Conference Finals following a 3-day layover from the previous matchup over the weekend. This is an interesting situation because most of the games have taken place every other day.  This will give us more of a series-reset type of feel to Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. The Heat lead the series 2-1, so this is essentially a tipping scale. It can sway the series in one direction or the other.  LIVE STREAM

NBA Saturday Night Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Game 3 How do you beat this Miami Heat? That must be the question on the minds of all the Boston Celtics, after what happened in this second game of the Eastern Final. And it is that although at times those of Brad Stevens were superior and even came to be in front by 94-89 with 4 minutes remaining, those led by Erik Spoelstra again found a way to be victorious (106-101), as during all this postseason. Was it a brilliant performance? Probably not, but the important thing is that night after night they continue to find ways to give something more than their rivals. His 2-0 lead in the series and his 10-1 mark in the Playoffs says it all. In this case, that road to victory was the job of his top two scorers. Down by five, Jimmy Butler's four straight points appeared first, including a transition conversion, following a magnificent steal from the former Philadelphia himself, on a play that ended up being a hinge.

NBA Thursday Night Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Game 2 If Game 1 was any indication, the Eastern Conference finals is going to be a long series. The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics went into overtime on Tuesday, with Bam Adebayo's incredible block of Jayson Tatum the difference in Miami's 117-114 victory. The Celtics led by 14 early in the fourth quarter, and that should have been a big enough cushion with how well they've defended in these playoffs. But it wasn't, because the Celtics stagnated offensively and allowed the Heat to score critical early-clock buckets. Amazingly, these are the only two teams that haven't trailed by 15 points during these playoffs, another reason to believe that this will continue to be a closely-contested series. LIVE STREAM

NBA Tuesday Night Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics East Finals Game 1 The Heat are coming off an impressive 4-1 series win against the No. 1 ranked Milwaukee Bucks, the Heat were able to suffocate the Bucks offense with their tough defense and will look to do the same against the Boston Celtics. The Celtics are coming off a seven-game series against the Raptors, where they used a lot of energy to defeat the Toronto Raptors in Game 7. They may be fatigued with only three days rest but being resilient in that series may benefit the Celtics long term in these playoffs.

NBA Firday Night Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Game 7 Game 7’s are some of the most exciting contests in sports, and we are blessed with one Friday night. The Raptors are the defending champions, have experience in series finales and boast the rugged tenacity and grit of Kyle Lowry. The Celtics are loaded with young talent and are primed to be East contenders for years to come, but it may be too much to ask Jaylen Brown, 23, and Jayson Tatum, 22, to rise to legend status in such a unique, pressure-filled environment.

NBA Wednesday Night Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics Game 6 The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors square off in Game 6 of their second-round series in the 2020 NBA Playoffs. The Celtics won Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series, looking to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win on Wednesday. If they pull it off, they’ll meet the Miami Heat in the next round. The defending champs are looking to extend the series and force Game 7. “We’ve just got to work on one,” Lowry said. “I’m very confident in our group. Our group is very tough-minded, tough-spirited and we’re a good team. We know what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to take one game at a time, one possession, one minute, one second at a time and just go out there and play.” The Celtics are 6-3 against the Raptors this season, with four of those wins coming by at least 15 points. Celtics guard Kemba Walker was “checking hearts” before Game 5 — he did so by slapping teammates in the chest before th...

NBA Monday Night Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Game 5 That agonizing triple of OG Anunoby in the third game changed the process of a series that looked clearly favorable for Boston. Stevens' men went from savoring 3-0, to finding a fifth clash of enormous significance, with the key tied in two victories per side. Who will step up tonight? Can the Canadians get their third win in a row or will we see the Celtics regain their best version? From availability, no news. Both Boston (Javonte Green, Gordon Hayward and Vincent Poirier) and Toronto (Oshae Brissett and Patrick McCaw) continue with the same absences from recent meetings.
