Nets vs Celtics live stream: How to watch NBA Christmas Day game online
Nets vs Celtics start time, channel
The Nets vs Celtics live stream will begin at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT today (Friday, Dec. 25).
The game airs on ABC.
The holiday NBA fun continues today with the Nets vs Celtics live stream, a widely anticipated matchup. The Christmas match-up is an exciting one, as fans will tune in to see how Brooklyn's Kevin Durant plays.
He showed flashes of greatness in his Tuesday return from the Achilles surgery that took him out of last season. Durant only played 25 minutes in the opener but he's likely to slowly build up to more playing time.
Durant will have his on-court partner, Kyrie Irving, to dish him the ball. They face a tough Boston team, which brings back most of the pieces from its Eastern Conference Finals run a few months ago. Kemba Walker is recovering from an injury, but Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have more than enough firepower to pick up the slack.
Here's everything you need to watch the Nets vs Celtics live stream open the NBA season:
