The Brooklyn Nets secured the second seed at the end of the regular season. Now they will embark on the playoff journey that many fans and analysts believe will end in an NBA championship. The Nets are one of the standout favorites to win the NBA title, thanks to the incredible trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. But the trio hasn’t played that much together. Their first test will come in the playoffs.

But who do they play? When do they play? And where can you watch it? Here are all the answers to those questions.

Showdown in the East

The Brooklyn Nets will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Celtics secured their spot through the play-in tournament, defeating the Washington Wizards to lock up the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. For the Celtics, this has been a tough season for them, without several players around. Jaylen Brown is unavailable due to injury, and other players like Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker have struggled through injury and COVID.

And three will be playing together during the playoffs, barring any injuries.
