Kyrie Irving (quad) out vs KnicksThe Celtics will have to take on New York without their superstar point guardBy Michael DePrisco AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver PostThe Boston Celtics announced Wednesday that Kyrie Irving will miss the team’s home matchup with the New York Knicks with a right quad contusion. Irving sustained the injury after catching a knee in the middle of his quad from Nuggets guard Jamal Murray. Shane Larkin is also questionable after missing Boston’s game in Denver Monady night, and with Marcus Smart out as well, we’ll get to see a lot of Terry Rozier. Irving is averaging over 31 points 5.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds and shooting 50% from three over the last five games, so the Celtics will have their hands full without their best offensive player. The Celtics two lowest scoring games have come without Irving on the floor, and Boston’s young players will have to step up if they are to break that trend. The Celtics and Knicks tip off at 8 p.m. EST at TD Garden as the Celtics look to carry their momentum from the end of their west coast road trip. www.celticsblog.com/2018/1/31/16955834/kyrie-irving-quad-out-vs-new-york-knicks-boston-celtics

Rozier 2 for 2 on 3's. C's having a hard time stopping their bigs.

Rozier stepping up nicely so far.

That's what Rozier can't do. Forcing offense on that fast break drive.

Rozier said he would be a starter on a NBA team one day. Today's his day.

Shane Larkin (knee) is considered a game-time decision.

Beasley has NO FEAR at ALL of the C's defense. Shooting the ball so calmly.

Sitting so he doesn't get injured ... a deal is close.
Best fits of teams interested (Heat/Cavs/76ers/Thunder) are Rockets & Celtics
