In this story:


The Boston Celtics are gearing up to take on the Golden State Warriors today in a rematch of the NBA Finals from a few seasons ago. Boston is coming off a bad loss to the Atlanta Hawks and will look to take down Golden State to get themselves back on track.

The Warriors enter this game with the possibility of not having a few key players in the lineup. The most notable is star guard Steph Curry, who is listed as questionable entering the game.

Curry injured his ankle in the Warriors' previous game so it remains to be seen if he will suit up here. But the Celtics will likely be preparing for Golden State to have its leader on the floor until he is fully ruled out.

If Curry can't go for this game, it gives the Celtics a massive advantage. Curry is the engine for Golden State and without him, they become a completely different team.

Boston should look to take advantage of the situation if Curry does end up missing this game. While they are still one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics have lost some games recently that they have had no business dropping.

The Celtics have lacked focus at times this season but they have no panic in the locker room of yet. But the team will need to figure things out sooner rather than later.

Players have had to adjust to different things on the court as opposing teams have shifted how they defend them. Star Jaylen Brown opened up about things, saying that he has had to change his role a little this year.

“I’ve had to adjust, it’s a different year,” Brown told NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin following the win. “I just do what the team needs me to do. I’ve been able to evolve through different things in my career. This team, I’m more of a playmaker, so I just embrace it and get better in that role and do what I do.”

This game against the Warriors could help get the Celtics back on track but staying there will be a tough time. Boston seems to be relatively healthy entering this game so the advantage goes to them heading into the contest.
