2. Thursday November 8th: Boston Celtics @ Phoenix Suns
This matchup for the Phoenix Suns will be another opportunity to try and show off their young talent against another top team.
While the Celtics are competing for a championship this year, they are also young enough to be a problem for the Suns over the next decade.
The only league created story-line with this game would be any bad blood between the Celtics and Josh Jackson for not working out for them prior to the 2017 draft.
Although, after ending up with Jayson Tatum and seeing how Jackson has started out the year, I do not think they are too upset about that anymore – if at all.
Outside of that, this game does include a battle between Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker caused by some fans, myself included, reacting to how the two compared on many preseason player rankings.
Players are normally aware of these things, even though they would never admit to it, so it could be interesting if each one takes over the game at certain points. The Celtics also have stars galore, in every age range, including the return of Gordon Hayward in his first game back against the Suns.
