The 35 – 32 Boston Celtics will play the 36 – 31 Miami Heat at TD Garden this Sunday afternoon in a pitched battle for possession of the Eastern Conference’s sixth-place slot and a chance at avoiding the NBA’s new play-in tournament. If you happen to be looking for a way to watch the action live on television or a streaming service, keep reading while we get you up to speed.
The Heat are currently one game ahead of the Celtics to have sole possession of the sixth seed, but Boston won the two teams’ last meeting in January, which would give the Celtics a 2-3 season advantage and the tiebreaker.
That potential outcome will only be good for one game however with the two teams meeting for their third and final meeting of the season on Tuesday, May 11 — and Boston needs to win tomorrow for that scenario to even take place.
