The Boston Celtics will continue their six-game road trip with a visit to Arizona on Wednesday night, where they’ll face the Phoenix Suns for the first time this 2024-2025 season—despite both teams having already played 72 games. With no prior matchup to draw from, the Celtics come in as clear favorites, riding a six-game winning streak.
Boston has been on a tear throughout March, dropping just one game out of 12 - a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jayson Tatum has led the charge for the #2 team in the Eastern Conference standings. The All-Star forward has been filling up the stat sheet on a regular basis, averaging 28.1 points, 8 rebounds, and 6.8 assists during this dominant stretch.
Meanwhile, the Suns had a rocky start to the month, stumbling to a 3-5 record in their first eight games. But momentum has shifted in their favor. Mike Budenholzer’s boys turned things around with four straight wins, including an impressive 123-112 victory over the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.
