The Boston Celtics are set to take on the Brooklyn Nets as they look to bounce back from Tuesday’s devastating NBA Cup loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Boston defeated Brooklyn 108-104 in overtime last Friday in their first meeting of the season. This time they face each other at Barclays Center, where the C’s have won their last eight games. They haven’t lost a game in Brooklyn since June 2021.

The Celtics have ruled out Al Horford (left big toe sprain) for the second night of their back-to-back. Jayson Tatum is available after admitting his left ankle was still “sore” from the injury he suffered against Milwaukee on Sunday.
