The Celtics are poised to conclude the NBA Cup group stage with their crucial Friday night game against the Chicago Bulls, determining their path to the knockout rounds.
With both the Celtics and Hawks tied at 2-1, the knockout stage hinges on Friday’s results, particularly requiring a Celtics win alongside a Hawks defeat to advance as group winners.
Tiebreakers play a significant role in the NBA Cup: head-to-head records, point differentials, and total points scored determine which teams advance if groups finish closely.
Even a loss against Chicago could allow the Celtics to advance, contingent on multiple outcomes in other games leading to all teams finishing the group stage at 2-2.
