The 45-18 Boston Celtics will host the 34-28 Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden on Friday evening as the Celtics hope to get back to win streaking after a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and a loss to the New York Knicks, while the Nets are hoping to get back in the win column after a four-game skid. Not the Brooklyn squad of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, this team can still be dangerous if overlooked, even considering — or perhaps because of — their recent losses.
