1. Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics (5:00 p.m. ET)
There might not be two teams in the NBA that have looked more impressive than the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets to start the 2020-21 season.
Kevin Durant has looked like his old self and Kyrie Irving was as dynamic as ever on the offensive end of the floor. The Nets blew out the Warriors in their first game of the season and will be looking to make an even bigger statement on national TV against the Celtics.
The Celtics are coming off a big win themselves on opening out against the Milwaukee Bucks and this game will give us a team in the driver’s seat to possibly win the Eastern Conference. Plus, this is also the Kyrie Irving return to Boston game. Even though fans won’t be present, it still will offer a certain level of intrigue.
Plus, who doesn’t wanna see a Kevin Durant vs. Jayson Tatum show on Christmas Day?
