The Boston Celtics have a couple of more games to finish out the regular season. After locking up the second spot in the East, they don't have much to play for. Neither do LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets.
At this point, they just want to make sure that their guys are playing together and are doing so injury-free. An injury to a key player at this point would be a disaster.
Boston is just hoping to have their guys totally ready to go for the first round of the playoffs against an opponent still yet to be determined.
