The Phoenix Suns (35-41) visit the Boston Celtics (56-20) on Friday, April 4, 2025, at the TD Garden.
This is the second matchup between the Suns and the Celtics this season. Last March 26, the Celtics carved a resounding 132-102 victory over the Suns. The latter was led by All-Star forward Kevin Durant, who had 30 points on 11-16 field goal shooting in the loss.
However, the Suns won't have Durant in this second face-off with the Celtics. This season, the Suns are sporting a lowly 2-12 record without their main star.
It's not just on offense that the Suns are having their problems. They've lost their last four games, from which they produced a concerning 140.1 defensive rating. Defense has always been an issue for this team, as they're currently ranked 28th in the league on that end of the floor.
Having issues on defense will not bode well when facing a strong offense like Boston's. The Celtics may be coming off a 124-103 loss to the Miami Heat, but they're still the second-best offense in the league. Save for that Heat game, the Celtics have been at the summit of their offense at this point of the season.
