The NBA has decided to end our NBA deprived mid-August suffering by releasing the full schedule for every team for the 2019-20 season. This, of course, includes our beloved Boston Celtics.

Note* A team being dubbed as a “playoff team” is completely subjective to my opinion. Due to the imbalances in conferences, teams such as the Minnesota Timberwolves and Sacramento Kings will be recognized as such even if their chances of playing in late April are slim.

According to Vegas, the Boston Celtics have one of the easier schedules in the league this year.

The NBA must see something is this year’s Celtics squad, as they have been awarded the seventh most national TV games behind only the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks.

There are 11 on ESPN, ten on TNT, nine on NBATV, and four on ABC for a total of 34 games!

For any sports bettor, the schedule release should make your life a lot easier. According to TheActionNetwork, the Celtics’ over/under is slated around the high forties; flip flopping between 48.5 and 49.5.

In a new article released by Bleacher Report, they recommend you take the over (even if its slight), and have the Celtics winning 50 games while also finishing third in the Eastern Conference.

Team’s seasons can very well be dictated by who they play and when they play them. If you can catch the good teams while they’re dealing with injuries or resting players, your win total can marginally increase.

A 50 win season would be quite the accomplishment after everything that has transpired over last year and the expected regression with the loss of Al Horford.

Here is an evaluation of each month for the Boston Celtics that include key matchups, player returns and many other takeaways.
