Celtics to play next 8 games of season vs. teams invited to Orlando

All 22 teams resuming the 2019-20 NBA season will play the next 8 games of their original schedule vs. other teams that were invited to Orlando.

It seems we know the Boston Celtics remaining schedule.

According to Yahoo’s Vincent Goodwill, teams will play their next eight scheduled games according to the NBA schedule laid out at the beginning of the season if the NBA goes ahead with the proposed 22-team return to be voted on in Thursday’s board of Governors meeting.

In the event that one of the teams on the schedule is not among the 22 invited teams, the schedule simply advances to the next team which is.

For the Celtics, that would create a schedule of games against the Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets for the first four games.

The following four games would begin with the Wizards again, followed by the Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat to close out the regular season.

The game against Miami is especially interesting, as it may prove useful for determining Boston’s first-round opponent, depending on how the final eight games shake out.
