Boston Celtics Game Tonight: Celtics vs Spurs Injury Report, Starting Lineup, Predictions, TV Channel for March 26
The Boston Celtics could prove that their post-All-Star break struggles have subsided by running their win streak to three on March 26 when the east’s No. 2 seed hosts the team with the third-worst record in the league, the Spurs.
San Antonio comes into this early-evening matchup on a three-game losing streak, with all of those losses by double digits and two of them coming by a deficit of 35 or more — hence the wildly one-sided spread on Sunday.
With the Spurs missing two of their top-five scorers, Boston has no excuse not to win big against one of the league’s least successful cellar-dwellers during the 2022-23 season.
San Antonio Spurs: 29th (ORtg), 30th (DRtg), 4th (Pace), 30th (NRtg)
Boston Celtics: 3rd (ORtg), 4th (DRtg), 18th (Pace), 1st (NRtg)

Boston Celtics vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
A game with an injury report akin to a CVS receipt is typically tough to prognosticate. With the spread being so vast, it’s difficult to predict the Celtics covering it with Jayson Tatum’s health in question.
Boston should take this one, but with the Houdini foresees a surprisingly close matchup from a Gregg Popovich-coached team that could give the Cs a scare at various points on Sunday.
