Ime Udoka's Rockets were effective in limiting Tatum in the Celtics' loss Monday, but Joe Mazzulla's team adjusted and thrived in beating the Bulls.

Do the Celtics need to make a move before the NBA trade deadline? Chris Forsberg lays out Brad Stevens' realistic options before Feb. 6.

The Boston Celtics, already over the second apron, have very limited options to make a move before the 2025 NBA trade deadline. In most mock trades, Jaden Springer is a fixture in such scenarios.

Boston nearly pulled off a great win, but fell for the seventh time this season after leading by at least 10 points.

This latest trade proposal sees Boston shake things up and ship out their veteran guard and champion, Jrue Holiday, for two players they could use to help them depth-wise. This trade idea, proposed by Matt Levine of Celtics on SI, is a three-team deal between the Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Memphis Grizzlies.

The Celtics expected to be down two rotation players in their matchup with the Rockets. Minutes before tipoff, they learned they’d actually be missing three.

Jaylen Brown scored 25 points, Jayson Tatum added 24 and the Boston Celtics rallied past the Los Angeles Clippers 117-113 in overtime when both teams were missing key players.

The shorthanded Celtics put up a good fight in a 114-112 loss to the Rockets on Monday night but last minute defensive blunders ultimately cost Boston the win. Plenty of attention will be paid to the miscues that Joe Mazzulla took responsibility for in the final ten seconds of the setback but there was much more to Monday’s defeat than those crunch time issues.
