Game 67 Preview: Boston Celtics (23-46) at Brooklyn Nets (35-31)
Sure, the Celtics have star point guard Rajon Rondo, but it's Jeff Green who presents the most matchup problems for the Nets

When: 7:30 PM EST; Friday, March 21st, 2014

Where: Barclays Center; Brooklyn, NY

TV: YES Network

The Nets are playing some great basketball of late, coming off two home wins in a row against the Suns and Bobcats and having won five of their last six overall. The Boston Celtics, though, even with a recent win over the defending champion Miami Heat, have dropped five of their last six games (five-game losing streak before Miami win) and look like the 23-46 that they are.

Tonight, at Barclays, Brooklyn concludes a short, three-game homestand with a matchup against the Celtics, a team the Nets should be able to easily handle in order to win their 11th home game in a row, even if Kevin Garnett misses his 11th consecutive game with back spasms.

Probable Lineups

BOS- Rajon Rondo (PG), Avery Bradley (SG), Jeff Green (SF), Brandon Bass (PF), Kris Humphries (C)

BKN- Deron Williams (PG), Shaun Livingston (SG), Joe Johnson (SF), Paul Pierce (PF), Mason Plumlee (C)

Final Thoughts

Another must win. No if's, and's, or but's about it.
