10 Celtics schedule details that jump off the page right away
By Jack Simone
9. A mini break in March
By the time March rolls around, the Celtics will likely have a pretty good idea as to where they could land in the standings. So, if they feel good, they could strategically rest guys.
Keep an eye out for the 15th through the 23rd as a stretch where some starts might hit the bench. They have back-to-back games against the Brooklyn Nets on the 15th and 18th.
Right after that, they hit the road for three games, and the first two are against the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers—two teams almost certainly headed for the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery.
10. The Celtics make the schedule look easy
Look, the reality of life for the Celtics is that they are the best team in a conference that is significantly weaker than the other. The West has top-tier talent from top to bottom. The East does not.
Because of that, the toughest stretches of Boston’s schedule, for the most part, are periods where they play multiple West teams in a row. And outside of their February schedule, where they play a ton of Eastern Conference playoff teams, the rest of the slate looks relatively easy.
Boston dominated the regular season last year, and while Kristaps Porzingis is slated to miss a large chunk of time to begin the season, they should be able to do the same this season.
