Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics will play tonight, May 25, at 7:30 pm (ET) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the first round of the 2020/21 NBA playoffs. Here, you'll find all the match information, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game.

The Boston Celtics barely made it to the playoffs after a tough end to the season but made it pretty interesting in Game 1 vs. the Brooklyn Nets, at least during the first half. Nonetheless, they need to bring their A-Game for 48 minutes if they want to stand a chance.

Jayson Tatum continues to demonstrate that he's a superstar in the making and Robert Williams was huge in the defensive end. Then again, they just can't match Brooklyn's offensive juggernaut.

Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics: Storylines

Kevin Durant missed nearly a dozen shots during the first half of Game 1. That's not going to happen very often. The Nets' offensive power is nearly unprecedented and they showed the ability to outshoot every single team in the Association.

That's why the Celtics need to make the most of every shot. They have the size advantage with Tristan Thompson and Robert Williams, two great offensive rebounders. Also, they need to be near-perfect in the defensive end to try and make this a series.
