BEAT LA!
The Boston Celtics may or may not be shorthanded tonight against their all-time rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. Robert Williams III is dealing with left knee soreness, and he’s now questionable ahead of tonight’s 10 pm tip.
The Celtics are 9-1 with Robert Williams in the starting lineup since the trade deadline when Daniel Theis was shipped off to Chicago. The last time Williams missed time, Tristan Thompson was out, which led to a tough loss against the Dallas Mavericks with only Grant Williams and Luke Kornet as Boston’s relatively reliable options at the center position.
With the return of Tristan Thompson into the lineup, the Celtics are at least a little better positioned to withstand a potential Rob absence. Even without Anthony Davis and LeBron James tonight, the Lakers are pretty big up front between Montrezl Harrell, Andre Drummond and Mark Gasol. Having Robert Williams isn’t a necessity for the hot Celtics to take down the depleted Lakers, but it’ll certainly help.

Thursday, April 15 - Celtics at Lakers
Pregame – Celtics-Lakers Rivalry Inches Back Toward Normalcy - Taylor Snow
This is a night when the Lakers could surely use a boost from their fans, as their rotation will be paper-thin due to some key absences. Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Andre Drummond and Markieff Morris are all out, while Dennis Schroder is a game-time decision, according to Lakers head coach Frank Vogel. That means LA could be without four of its starters, making the presence of its sixth man in the stands all the more important. However, even with all of those absences, Stevens anticipates a hot-blooded battle, considering the history between these two teams. The tradition of the rivalry will feel a bit more normal than it did back on Jan. 30, as there will finally be Lakers fans back inside STAPLES Center. And surely a bunch of loyal Celtics fans, as well.

They may have to recruit some players from the stands, and they'll probably have the refs on their side tonight too

A win tonight will put us in a tie with the Hawks for the 4th seed (though they have beaten us in head-2-head and have the advantage).

So far so good. Don’t press and go for the knock out. Drive to the basket and make the zebras call something.
