The headliner for Sunday's schedule is the Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors matchup at the Chase Center. It's the rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals, with the Celtics looking to pile on the misery of the Warriors. They are also out for revenge after losing their first meeting back on Nov. 6 at the TD Garden.
Steph Curry had 27 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and four steals in the 118-112 win over the defending champions. The Warriors were still playing great basketball back then, but things are different heading into tonight's showdown with the Celtics.
Jayson Tatum put up 32 points, four rebounds and two assists in that first matchup, while Derrick White had 26 points and six rebounds. Jaylen Brown did not play in the game due to a right hip flexor. The Celtics have only three regular season wins over the Warriors in their last 10 games.

Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors Injury Reports
Celtics
The Boston Celtics have three players on their injury report, but they have a clean bill of health. JD Davison, Drew Peterson and Anton Watson are not injured, but are not on the active rosters because of their two-way status.
Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are set to return to the Celtics lineup after missing their previous game against the Atlanta Hawks. It was the second game of a back-to-back, so Porzingis and Horford were given rest.
Porzingis' injury was described as left leg injury management, while Horford was nursing a toe injury.
Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have five players on their injury report. Steph Curry is listed as questionable due to a sprained left ankle. The Warriors are being cautious with Curry after Jordan Poole landed on his left ankle in their previous game.
Draymond Green, who played just three minutes on Friday, has been tagged as out. Green joined Kyle Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski on the sidelines.
Anderson has inflammation in his left gluteal muscle, Kuminga is recovering from a right ankle sprain and Podziemski is dealing with a right abdominal injury.
