Both Rob and Al are listed as "questionable" as of this writing. We've already been told that Rob will make his season debut tonight vs the Magic. And I have no doubt that Al will not miss Rob's debut in The Garden especially having been out some time himself with enough of a respite to be there for his wife and the birth of his 5th child. Always great to spend time with the family but Al has two families and the one in Boston is making preferential "noise" to that of a crying baby and screaming kids. Welcome back "boys!" It can only get better with both of you policing the frontcourt.

Besides, out in L.A., Mazzulla confirmed Al's absence from the Laker game on Monday but at that time indicated Al planned to rejoin the team in Boston for the Orlando Magic game tonight.

Don't look now but the Magic have now won 4 games in a row, beating Clippers, Raptors (twice) and Hawks in the process.

Orlando Magic (9-20) at Boston Celtics (22-7) Game #30 12/16/22
The Celtics look to win 2 in a row as they host the Orlando Magic for the 2nd of 4 games this season.
By flceltsfan
Orlando just finished a 5 game home stand where they finished 4-1. Those 4 wins include the Clippers, the Raptors twice, and the Hawks. This is the first game of a 4 game road trip for them, with the first two game on the trip against the Celtics. The Celtics just completed a 6 game road trip and this is the first game of a 7 game home stand that will take them through the end of December. The Celtics are 1st in the East, 1.5 games ahead of 2nd place Milwaukee, who were blown out by the Grizzlies on Thursday night. The Celtics are 11-2 at home and 7-3 in their last 10 games. They are 14-5 against Eastern Conference teams. The Magic are 13th in the East, 1.5 games out of last place. They are 1-11 on the road and 4-6 in their last 10 games. They have won their last 4 games. They are 5-15 against Eastern Conference teams.
The Magic have 5 players listed as out on the injury list. Wendell Carter, Jr (foot), Gary Harris (hamstring), Chuma Okeke (knee), and Jalen Suggs (ankle) are out for this game but may possibly be back for Sunday’s game. Jonathan Isaac (knee) is also out for this game but is expected to remain out until at least December 30.

SG: Franz Wagner
SF: Paolo Banchero
PF: Bol Bol
C: Moritz Wagner

Head Coach

Key Matchups
Jaylen Brown vs Paolo Banchero
Banchero was the #1 pick in this season’s draft and is a candidate for Rookie of the Year. He is averaging 21.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. He is shooting 45.1% from the field and 25.6% from beyond the arc. This should be a fun matchup to watch.
Derrick White vs Franz Wagner
Wagner is averaging 19.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists. He is shooting 49.3% from the field and 34.4% from beyond the arc. I’m guessing that White will start at shooting guard but it’s possible that Mazzulla will start Grant Williams or go with the double big lineup with Robert Williams starting. In either of those cases, Jaylen Brown will start at shooting guard.
Honorable Mention
Jayson Tatum vs Bol Bol
Bol is averaging12.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. He is shooting 60.4% from the field and 42.6% from beyond the arc. The Celtics could also start Grant Williams or Al Horford at power forward, depending on what direction Mazzulla decides to go in.

I hope Fultz doesn't punch us in the grill too much.
