Last night, the Boston Celtics were awarded the number one overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft. It's the first time the team has had the number one pick in the modern draft era.

In their quest for another championship banner, the Celtics face defending NBA champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers, tonight in the first game of the series.
