The Boston Celtics have been hovering at the bottom of the Eastern Conference all season, and are just half a game behind the Brooklyn Nets for the eighth seed. Their next two games are at home against a couple of Eastern Conference teams fighting for playoff spots.

First up is the Indiana Pacers who are just a game behind the Celtics, and then they face off against a Milwaukee Bucks team that has lost eight of their last 10 games. From a talent perspective, Boston is not quite as dangerous as some of their competitors, however, they are young, and well coached by Brad Stevens.
