Over a glorious 24-hour stretch from Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon, Boston sports fans are going to be in heaven.

Sunday has a full slate of sports for Boston fans, starting with Game 1 of the Boston Celtics' first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. That game tips off at 1 p.m. ET.

After the Celtics finish up, the Boston Red Sox will take on the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. There's a great pitching matchup with Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet squaring off against All-Star lefty Framber Valdez.

That game starts at 4:35 p.m. ET, barring any weather delays, giving fans enough time to scurry from TD Garden to Fenway if they have tickets to both games.

Sunday night brings another postseason game as the Boston Bruins kick off their playoff run on the road against the Buffalo Sabres. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at the KeyBank Center.

Monday is Patriots' Day and a state holiday in Massachusetts. This year marks the 130th running of the Boston Marathon, which kicks off at 9 a.m. ET. 

The Red Sox will then play their annual Patriots' Day morning game at Fenway Park, which starts at 11 a.m. ET against the Tigers. Monday's series finale features another good pitching matchup between veterans Jack Flaherty and Sonny Gray.

So buckle up, Boston sports fans. Make sure you have a big TV, a comfy place to sit and plenty of snacks and beverages, because you've got a different kind of marathon to crush.
