Dropping contests against Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, Boston Celtics once again face the Eastern Conference winners in a vital bout to decide their fate.

A loss in the encounter would surely seal Celtics’ place in the inaugural tournament and it would be a massive dip for the side that has featured in the conference finals three times out of the last four seasons.
