Celtics vs Wizards: How to watch, TV channel, start time (Jan. 8)

For now at least, the Boston Celtics play the Washington Wizards on Friday, Jan. 8, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

While it seems the positive COVID-19 case uncovered by the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday hasn’t had a cascading effect on the team they played last before yesterday’s game with the Brooklyn Nets (the Wiz), the Celtics will be without several important players due to being in the league’s health and safety protocol. And while Washington may clearly be an inferior team in terms of talent, with Boston’s lack of depth at the moment, this could be a closer game than expected.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: 01/07/2021
  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: NBC Boston Sports
