Celtics, Pelicans Meet in Battle of NBA Contenders
We have three ranked-vs.-ranked matchups in men’s college hoops and a packed slate in the NBA? It’s a good night to be a basketball fan. Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are looking to stay hot against one of the Western Conference’s best teams, and two top-15 men’s teams from the SEC face off in one of college hoops’ best atmospheres.
Here’s what I’m watching today.

New Orleans Pelicans at Boston Celtics
The Pelicans are currently navigating a tough schedule without Zion Williamson but won last time out behind 34 points from C.J. McCollum and another double double from Jonas Valanciunas. They’ll need another big performance from that veteran duo against the top team in the Eastern Conference tonight. The Celtics have won three straight since a surprising early-January loss to the Thunder, and Jayson Tatum is coming off back-to-back 30+ point outings.
