48. January 29 vs. Chicago Bulls
Wow. The Celtics play the Bulls a lot this season. And if they play their cards right, every single one of those games should be a win.
Prediction: Win | Record: 36-12
49. January 31 @ New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans are set to have a weird season next year, especially with all of the Brandon Ingram drama. The Celtics should pick up a win, sweeping the season series against New Orleans.
Prediction: Win | Record: 37-12
50. February 2 @ Philadelphia 76ers
This will be the Celtics’ first time in the great state of Pennsylvania. And after they beat the Sixers on Christmas Day, Joel Embiid will be revved up and ready to get back at them.
Prediction: Loss | Record: 37-13
51. February 4 @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Like the Hawks, there’s a chance the Cavs could look different by this point in the year. However, that may benefit the Celtics. They should get the win regardless.
Prediction: Win | Record: 38-13
52. February 6 vs. Dallas Mavericks
In the regular season last year, the Celtics swept the Mavs. And they did it in two comfortable wins. They play Dallas very, very well, and that will continue with a season series sweep.
Prediction: Win | Record: 39-13
