Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics squeaked past the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday afternoon with a 120-119 home win

The New Orleans Pelicans head to TD Garden to face the Boston Celtics in a non-conference matchup. The Pelicans are 8-31, which puts them in last place in the Western Conference. The Celtics are 27-11, which puts them in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Almost a microcosm of the issues that have been plaguing the Celtics since mid-December, from it seeming like there was a lid on the basket for shots from beyond the arc to struggles to score and defensive lapses when it counts the most.
