Boston Celtics Schedule 2019 Celtics Schedule

The Celtics lost Gordon Hayward within the first minute of last season, and eventually Kyrie Irving later on in the year. They start off the season with a couple of tough matchups, they face Philadelphia on Opening Night, and then travel to Toronto to take on Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors a few days late. Boston also get to face Russell Westbrook and Oklahoma City early on in the season. The Atlantic division easily holds the three best teams in the conference, with Philadelphia and Toronto joining Boston. With LeBron James out West, the East is finally available for the taking. Boston has 13 back-to-backs on the season, which is above average compared to the rest of the league. The Celtics have over 30 televised games this season, including four of their last five games of the season. They have a tough stretch of games in march, facing Toronto, Portland, Washington, Houston, and then Golden State. They will meet LeBron and the Lakers March 9th, and February 7th. Boston has a few holiday games as well, playing Philadelphia on Christmas Day, and then go on the road to San Antonio on New Years Eve. Boston is going to be able to coast through some easy Eastern conference teams, but of course will have their hands full with some of the elite Western teams they say twice a year. Boston went 12-4 in their division this season, which matched Toronto. Boston also went 33-19 in the conference, which is a number they will want to improve on if they want to land the one seed. Boston are heavy favorites to be the team coming out of the East, and that all comes down to taking care of business within their conference. Brad Stevens and company are looking to push 60 wins.
