The Nets lost to the Celtics 139-114 despite being down just 65-60 to the defending NBA champions. Ziaire Williams had his best game in a Nets uniform as he dropped 23 points and six rebounds while Cam Thomas had 17 points and three assists.

In an attempt to get back to .500, the Brooklyn Nets may be without key pieces tonight against an already-shorthanded Boston Celtics squad. The two teams met less than a week ago, but both rosters could look significantly different from their first matchup.

The Celtics will play their second game in as many days when they visit the Nets on Wednesday night. You could have argued that this is a potential letdown spot for the Celtics after their In-Season Tournament home opener against the Hawks, but Boston lost in a stunner Tuesday.
