Celts will get their first look at Zion that I can remember? Is that right?
Pelicans vs. Celtics: Lineups, broadcast info, injury reports for Feb. 21By Justin Quinn
The Boston Celtics hope to stay above .500 as they travel to New Orleans to take on the Pelicans at Smoothie King Center Sunday afternoon, hoping to snap the pattern of dropping every other game and flubbing afternoon tipoff games both.
Fresh off a home win against the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics will face a Pelicans squad that has won just five of their last ten games and lost the last two straight, albeit in the more competitive Western Conference to solid opponents. Boston should have most of its key players available with some luck, though two players at least are nearly certain to miss this contest.
Probable starting lineups
Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum – forward Semi Ojeleye – forward Daniel Theis – center Jaylen Brown – guard Kemba Walker – guard
New Orleans Pelicans
Brandon Ingram – forward Zion Williamson – forward Willy Hernangomez – center Eric Bledsoe – guard Lonzo Ball – guard
How to watch or stream
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
Date: 2/21/21 Time: 3:30 p.m. ET TV Channel: ABC Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)
Injury reports
Both of New Orleans two way players — Will Magnay and Naji Marshall — will miss the contest with assignment to the team’s developmental affiliate in the Orlando-area bubble, and veteran big man Steven Adams is listed as questionable with a right ankle sprain.
For the Celtics, veteran guard Marcus Smart (calf) and second-year wing Romeo Langford (wrist) are listed as out for the game as well.

The power company is scheduled to shut my power off to repair a line damaged in a car crash last night. Power expected to go off around 2:30pm for about 2 hours so I'll likely miss the 1st half ... I'll catch up as soon as I can.
Enjoy the game!

The game tips off at 4PM (?) and can be seen on ABC, and will take place on the road at the Smoothie King Center as the Celtics hope to go on a win streak. The Pelicans in turn are trying to get back in the win column after dropping their last two games and five of their last 10. The lines, courtesy of BetMGM Point spread: – 2.5 Money line: 1.70 / 2.20 Over-under: 230.5
Advice and predictionWith All-Star point guard Kemba Walker available and appearing to round into form, the Celtics ought to be able to handle this game so long as they aren’t plagued by the early start, an issue for them this season. They should handle the spread easily with three sources of potential high-powered offense, go with Boston on this one. Prediction: Boston 107, New Orleans 99

Gotta love that there's a smoothie king center. Maybe Cole's table tennis can get it next

Nesmith hustle play. The energy seems totally different with him on the floor and Tatum on the bench. Even feels weird typing that.

I thought in that first quarter I saw TimeLord, Pritchard and Nesmith on the court at the same time........I guess Brad really doesn't play rookies and young players.........good grief

Nice to see nesmith hit the ground again. To me that's a better sight than if he'd hit that jumper. Kid is all in.
I have no doubt he can shoot

Points off turnovers is really helping our cause at the moment. Getting runs out is rare, but points off steals is nice.
JT with the throwdown

Celtics taking control. Time out 46-34 with 8 left in the half
I keep hearing how great Zion is. Still haven't ever seen it

Technically that's defensive goaltending. There was a pelican in the net, no pun intended
