Celtics Cup matchups worth watching
The Boston Celtics face Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and Atlanta Hawks in the Cup games listed above. Here’s what makes those matchups worth a closer look.
Celtics vs. Bulls: White’s screen navigation against Giddey’s passing vision
The Celtics host the Chicago Bulls on Fri, Oct 30 at TD Garden.
Josh Giddey’s height lets him see passes over a smaller guard, while Derrick White excels at staying involved in a play after the first screen. That is an intriguing creation-versus-disruption comparison. Nic Claxton’s movement toward the rim gives Chicago a target; Boston’s weak-side defender must decide when to tag the roll and when to stay with the corner shooter.

The Celtics visit the Charlotte Hornets on Fri, Nov 6 at Spectrum Center.
Brandon Miller and Jayson Tatum both have the size to shoot over a smaller defender, but Boston can add another layer with Payton Pritchard’s pull-up threat. Charlotte’s challenge is to avoid giving Tatum an easy switch while still containing the guard action. Compare how the two wings create their space—through a screen, a catch on the move or an isolation.

The Celtics visit the Washington Wizards on Tue, Nov 24 at Capital One Arena.
Bilal Coulibaly’s length gives Washington a potential defender for Jayson Tatum’s wing isolations. The assignment demands discipline: a high hand at the jumper without opening the drive. Alex Sarr’s presence behind the play can change where Tatum looks to finish. Boston’s passing out of help becomes important if Washington can make the first scoring chance uncomfortable.
See game details →Celtics vs. Hawks: George and Dort bring a physical perimeter subplot
The Celtics host the Atlanta Hawks on Fri, Nov 27 at TD Garden.
Paul George’s size and pull-up game give Luguentz Dort a potential physical assignment on the perimeter. Atlanta can also use Jalen Johnson to push after a rebound, forcing Boston to defend before its matchups are settled. The Celtics’ opportunity is to make the Hawks defend multiple actions rather than one isolation. The Hawks’ is to turn an uncomfortable catch into a transition chance.
