RE: Aaron Nesmith
Udoka’s hope was to get Nesmith some low-pressure opportunities in the second half but a surprising Thunder comeback in the fourth quarter prevented that from happening.
“We wanted to get him some minutes, and that would’ve been the plan if the fourth didn’t get so close,” Udoka said. “We went with Sam over him in the first half, then, like I said, the plan was to get him in in the fourth quarter till the lead shrunk there.”
Nesmith’s next chance to play will come on Wednesday night but his odds of pushing his way back into the rotation with nine games left in the regular season appear slim with Boston healthy at this point.

Boston Celtics vs. Utah Jazz
(Photo by Chris Gardner/Getty Images) by Andrew Hughes
The Boston Celtics take on a team Wednesday night that sits in the exact same spot in the Western Conference as the Cs do in the east.
It’ll be the Utah Jazz in town for their third contest of a northeastern swing against both NY teams and facing Boston before heading south to take on the Charlotte Hornets.
The Cs have blown out three of their last four opponents and beat the other (OKC Thunder) on the second night of a back-to-back…and by nine points. That was without Marcus Smart and Robert Williams in the lineup.
They’ll be back tonight against a Utah Jazz team that begs the Cs to rely on that duo to contain Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, respectively.
Will the Jazz win their fourth game in five tries or will Boston move their win streak to five games?

The Celtics plan didn't work? Sad This one might.. Sources: Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will be cleared for home games as New York City will on Thursday change private sector vaccine mandate to allow exemption for athletes and entertainers in workplace. Unvaccinated Yankees and Mets players also now eligible for home games." Silver said no.. Think he'll stick to his word? $$$$ calls BS

Lucky this game isn't on ESPN, so Utah doesn't have to show pride.
