Celtics battle Blue Coats in first road game
Evans Boston /November 13, 2026
Wilmington, DE - The Maine Celtics have officially hit the road.
Maine is set for its first road game of the season tonight, a 7 p.m. tilt at Delaware against the Blue Coats. Fans can stream the game live on NBA.com or the NBA App.
The Celtics (2-0) are looking to build upon a great home start to the 2026-27 season. Maine blew away Westchester in the season opener on Nov. 6, then came from behind to snatch another with from the Knicks on Nov. 8.
Once again, Boston has assigned Chris Cenac Jr. to Maine for tonight’s game. Cenac was impressive in the season opener, recording a 19 point-11 rebound double-double. Maine is expected to have all three Two-Way players in the lineup – Devin Carter, Dillon Mitchell, and Amari Williams are all expected to dress tonight.
For Delaware (1-0), the Blue Coats have added some reinforcements as well. While Maine fans will be sad to see that Tacko Fall won’t be there, Delaware will have its other two Two-Ways – Caleb Love and Rayan Robert are both expected to play. The Philadelphia 76ers have also assigned Justin Edwards and LaBaron Phillon Jr. for tonight’s game.
Maine’s defense has reigned supreme thus far – the Celtics have held their opponent under 95 points in both games this season. That will be tested tonight in Delaware. The Blue Coats are rested, having played their lone game last Saturday. Delaware scored 147 points in that season debut, without their Two-Ways or assignees. Jameer Nelson Jr. and Saint Thomas led Delaware, each scoring 39 points. All five starters finished in double figures for the Blue Coats.
Maine will look to return to Game 1 form in terms of turnovers – the Celtics turned the ball over just 11 times on Nov. 6, only to cough it up 26 times just two days later.
The Celtcs’ guard play has been strong. Carter has been getting back into shape while on a minutes restriction, and Milos Uzan and Hayden Gray have shouldered the load. Uzan has dished out 19 assists in two games, while averaging 15.0 points per game. Gray has picked up where he left off – grabbing a couple of steals each game. The Maine veteran is also an impressive +40 on the season through two games.
It will be a true test for the Maine Celtics tonight in Delaware. All eyes will be on this formidable NBA G League matchup.
