Portland Trail Blazers vs Boston Celtics Live Stream, Start Time: Watch NBA Online
East meets West.
The Boston Celtics travel to the Moda Center to face the Portland Trail Blazers in the regular season of the National Basketball Association.
To be played on March 31, 2016, the game starts at 10:00 PM ET.
This is a very interesting matchup as both teams have exceeded expectations so far this season and see themselves relatively safe in the playoff race.
At the moment, the Celtics are at 43-31 and tied with the Miami Heat in the standings as they play around the fourth and fifth spot in the Eastern Conference.
They are a good 5.0 games ahead of the Indiana Pacers who hold the eighth spot in the league and with only a number of games remaining they are almost assured a spot in the post season.
It would take a big collapse from the Celtics to miss out the playoffs. That seems like a farfetched idea as they have been very consistent and have played to their strengths to get where they are right now.
The same can be said for the Blazers as they are sixth in the Western Conference with a 39-36 record.
They still have a shot at the Memphis Grizzlies who are fifth in the West and hold a 2.0 game advantage over the teams below them who are trying to get into the post season.
As said throughout the season, the Blazers have been a surprise team and Damian Lillard has effectively silenced critics with his play and leading the team to where they are at the moment.
This battle pits Lillard against Isaiah Thomas in a great point guard matchup between two stars out to continue showing they are elite players.
Thomas made the All-Star this year, the first of his career, while the Lillard is considered another big snub as he missed out.
