Boston Celtics vs. Minnesota Timberwolves live stream: Watch NBA game online

The Boston Celtics are back in action with a Friday night matchup vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Following an eventful All-Star break in which Jayson Tatum got to compete in his first All-Star Game, the 21-year-old will look to get his team off to a hot start to the final stretch of the regular season.

The Celtics will have to go to battle without star point guard Kemba Walker, who was ruled out with a sore left knee. The Timberwolves will be shorthanded as well, as they'll be without star big man Karl-Anthony Towns as he deals with a wrist injury.
