The Eastern Conference’s seventh-seeded Boston Celtics will host the eighth-seeded Washington Wizards at TD Garden for the privilege of playing in the 2021 NBA Playoffs from the seventh seed against the second-place Brooklyn Nets this Tuesday, May 18 at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. If you happen to be looking for a way to watch the action live on television or on a streaming service, keep reading while we get you up to speed.
The stumbling Celtics had lost their final game of the season to the New York Knicks and just four of their last 10 games, while a surging Wizards franchise is on a two-game winning streak, victors of six of their last 10 contests.
If Boston loses, it will face the winner of the No. 9 (Charlotte Hornets) and No. 10 (Indiana Pacers) matchup later this week.
