Predicting all 82 Celtics games to determine their 2024-25 season record
By Jack Simone
33. December 31 vs. Toronto Raptors
Whenever the Celtics play the Raptors, it seems to be a pretty close game. The Raptors play a tough brand of basketball, but the Celtics, especially if Porzingis is healthy, should win.
Prediction: Win | Record: 24-9
34. January 2 @ Minnesota Timberwolves
This is the start of one of the toughest stretches of Boston’s season. The Timberwolves should be one of the best teams in the NBA again, and while this contest should be close, the Celtics should win.
Prediction: Win | Record: 25-9
35. January 3 @ Houston Rockets
This Houston Rockets team isn’t going to roll over next season. They’ve added some nice pieces, and Ime Udoka should get them on the right track. That said, the Celtics are simply the better team.
Prediction: Win | Record: 26-9
36. January 5 @ Oklahoma City Thunder
The last time the Celtics were in Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. They won’t mess it up this time around, even with how much the Thunder have improved.
Prediction: Win | Record: 27-9
37. January 7 @ Denver Nuggets
This will be one of the best games of the season. The Denver Nuggets are still the team to beat in the Western Conference (at least for the Celtics). Unfortunately, Boston might get hit by the altitude bug in Colorado.
Prediction: Loss | Record: 27-10
