Boston's win over Miami Sunday put them in a virtual tie with Cleveland for the No. 1 seed. The Cavaliers have a tough game at San Antonio Monday night. 

Taken with the 45th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Demetrius Jackson has spent most of his rookie season as a key contributor for the D-League Maine Red Claws.

As the Red Claws settle in for a playoff berth, Jackson has quietly exerted leadership skills and a competitive edge that was previously lauded during his standout career at Notre Dame.

I talk with Jackson about what a typical pregame routine entails, his communication level between the Red Claws and Celtics, what a five-on-five scrimmage looks like at Celtics practice, and more.

While Boston was getting drenched by Devin Booker, top defenseman Avery Bradley was in the hospital sick. He remained there Saturday and is questionable again for Sunday night's game against the Miami Heat.

Boston Celtics players were unhappy with how Phoenix coach Earl Watson handled the closing minutes of the game. Brad Stevens is upset with Boston Celtics inconsistent play. Marcus Smart is struggling with his shooting in March. The Cleveland Cavaliers loss pulls the Boston Celtics to within one game in the loss column.

The Phoenix Suns are in a clear battle with the Los Angeles Lakers for the second worst record in the NBA, an effort to garner as many ping pong balls as possible when the lottery selections are made May 16th.

The Boston Celtics are in a battle for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and have aspirations of sneaking into the NBA Finals this postseason.

The discrepancy in each franchises direction was overtly evident Friday night at the TD Garden as the Celtics cruised to a 130-120 victory against the Suns.

Tonight, however, belonged to Devin Booker.

Tanking season has taken a hold of the Phoenix Suns, as the team looks different and will be drastically shorthanded tonight against the Boston Celtics. 

Kevin Durant is making progress with the Golden State Warriors, while Joel Embiid is scheduled to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus.

Plus, there are 10 games on the NBA schedule tonight.
