Next Up - Nets @ Celtics, Monday January 28, 2019 at 7:30 PM

With all the AD speculation heating up and the fact that he will not stay in NOLA I almost forgot to do the next Up summary.
 
Games go on.  The Nets visit Boston tonight for their 3rd meeting with the Celtics.

Developing star Spencer Dinwiddle is out with surgery on his thumb.  Joe Harris and Treveon Graham are questionable.  Also Jared Dudley is out.
The Celtics have a full roster.

This game is important.  The Celtics are coming off of a very tough loss at home to GSW.  The Nets have turned into a competitive team and are now in 6th place and only 4 games behind the Celtics in the loss column.

The Celtic won the first meeting earlier this month before an embarrassing loss.  The schedule is whack.  This will be the 3rd game this month against the Nets.

The Celtics need to go out and win this game.  They need to respect inferior opponents.

Yes, the Cs need to win this game and also need to play well as this game is against a team that has already beaten Boston, but is not a really good team.  This cannot be a stinker of a game after the tough loss to the Warriors on Saturday as the Cs need to shake off the "ups and downs" season they have had so far.
