The Boston Celtics will be taking on the Phoenix Suns on April 4, 2025. The Celtics were one of the biggest dominant forces of the NBA in the 2023-24 season. However, this time around, that has not been the case. Falling pretty much behind, the Celtics have lagged behind the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thus, with the playoffs coming up, the likes of Jayson Tatum and Co. will be looking to gain some significant confidence by securing a win. The Phoenix Suns, however, will be a tough nut to crack.
Boston Celtics vs. Phoenix Suns: Prediction

Well, despite the hiccups, Joe Mazulla and his team have remained quite the force to be reckoned with this time as well. While the Celtics have already secured a playoff spot, the upcoming game will be more about the team measuring up their own strengths and weaknesses. However, going into the match, the Celtics feel a bit relaxed. After all, in their last six encounters, the Celtics have won five times. This also includes the comprehensive 132-102 victory that the Celtics registered a week back.
As for the Phoenix Suns, they will be the more desperate of the lot. Ranked 11 at the moment in the West, the Suns have 35 wins and 41 losses. With their play-in chances hanging by a thread, they will surely be looking to lay it all out on the court. Thus, with a heated battle to follow, the game is expected to be a banger.
