The Boston Celtics on Wednesday announced their schedule for the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs.

The Celtics will play the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks or Chicago Bulls, depending on the results of the Play-In Tournament.
Boston clearly has its sights on a deep playoff run, though. The C’s posted an NBA-best 64-18 record during the regular season and seemingly have the talent necessary to raise Banner 18 at TD Garden.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown continued to lead the way for the Celtics, who bolstered their roster over the offseason by acquiring Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. Throw in the likes of Derrick White and Al Horford, among others, and it’s easy to see why Boston is the betting favorite to win the title.
