Free Boston Celtics vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
Tuesday, February 25th, finds Boston Celtics facing the Portland Trail Blazers in the clubs’ first meeting this season. Both teams will be missing their All-Star starting point guards as Damian Lillard and Kemba Walker deals with injury.
Last season, the teams played twice with the Celtics winning both contests. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Blazers in 67 of their 114 matches
Boston Celtics
Sunday featured one of the best games played to this point in the season when the Boston Celtics waged battle with their long time nemesis the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although they came up two points short it was an announcement of sorts to the NBA worldwide fan base that Jayson Tatum has entered the conversation as one of the league’s top 10 players.

Taytum was unstoppable in the match scoring 41 points Sunday and is averaging 28.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists through his last 10 games.
More impressively is the 21-year old has abandoned his mid-range heavy shot attempts in favor of mixing in more perimeter shots and is shooting 45.2 percent over this same period.
All five Celtics starters contributed but the Celtics bench struggled to score with that being the big difference in the loss. Gordon Hayward came close to a triple-double with 10 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds.
Jaylen Brown (20), Daniel Theis (16) and Marcus Smart (14) all collected double-figure scores.
Team leaders in key categories are Kemba Walker for assists (5.0) Gordon Hayward for field goal percent (50.6%), and Daniel Theis for blocks (1.3). Jayson Tatum leads the other three categories including scoring (22.9), rebounding (7.0) and steals (1.4).
Walker’s return date following the procedure to drain his knee and an injection to offset the swelling and pain is uncertain, however, he has been ruled out for Tuesday.
Robert Williams III (bone edema, hip) began practicing with the team and is expected back in action when the team returns to Boston.
Portland Trail Blazers
CJ McCollum is doing his best to fill in for his missing backcourt partner Damian Lillard who remains out with a groin injury. McCollum has put up career-high assists in back to back games.
In the win over the Pistons, he led the team in scoring with 41 and came just short of a triple-double with 12 assists and nine rebounds.
Hassan Whiteside also produced a double-double of 16 points and 17 rebounds while Carmelo Anthony was the only other double-figure scorer with 32.
Two starters lead all the stat categories and with Damian Lillard topping scoring (29.5 points), assists (7.9) and steals (1.0). Hassan Whiteside tops rebounds (14.1), field goal percentage (61.1%), and blocks (3.1).
Lillard is expecting to remain out at least until March with the groin injury.
Jusuf Nurkic (leg) remains out indefinitely but hopes are for a March return. Zach Collins (shoulder) also won’t return until March.
Rodney Hood (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season.
