How hard is the Boston Celtics’ group for the new in-season tournament?

The Celtics have been placed in a group with the Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, and Orlando Magic.

The NBA announced a new in-season tournament with group stages followed by a knockout stage, and we know what group the Boston Celtics will be in for the 2023-24 season.

The tournament games will be played on designated tournament nights, mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays, and will be counted as regular-season games.

The Celtics were placed in a group with the Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic. Pending the moves those clubs make, Boston’s group is considered one of the easier ones to forge a path to winning the league’s inaugural in-season tournament cup.

To talk over Boston’s group placement and the tourney more generally, the hosts of the “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast linked up for a recent episode focused on it.
