With White out as his wife is expected to deliver their 2nd child any day now, we s/b seeing Payton get starter minutes vs the Nets tonight. And that in turn means Banton will be running the show for the bench unless Tatum gets minutes at PG. Davison could also be on hand in case of an injury or foul trouble for any of Holiday, Pritchard or Banton.
Tatum will hit another milestone as he's just 16pts away from scoring 10K pts!
Queta should also be on the injury list posted just below ... there's been no indication that his right foot injury mgmt has been "managed" yet!
Injury Report:
Boston Celtics: None > White OUT for personal reasons (wife giving birth)
Brooklyn Nets: Nic Claxton – OUT – Left Ankle Sprain
Brooklyn Nets: Cam Johnson – OUT – Left Calf Strain
The Nets squeeked out a 2pt win over the Bulls last night so this is a B2B game for them vs a rested C's squad. Cam played last night so unless he gets a day of rest (injury mgmt?) then the starting lineup/rotation for them should look like this:
PG: Ben Simmons/S Dinwiddie/D Smith
SG: Cam Thomas/L Walker
SF: Mikal Bridges/R O'Neale
PF: Royce O’Neale/D Finney-Smith
C: Dorian Finney-Smith/D Sharpe
Shaq thinks Simmons could be the "Comeback Player of the Year" this season ... so don't fall asleep on him with White out in this fame. Maybe Banton gets to test his mettle some time on Simmons ...

I'm guessing Hauser gets the start.

I'm guessing Hauser gets the start. Maybe with Claxton out we go double big with Al and punish them down low |

Al would make the most sense, but I feel it might be PP

Al would make the most sense, but I feel it might be PP Right i suspect... Two reasons.. Horford brings seasoned experience to the bench. Celtics want PP to put up good numbers because it increases his trade value.. I don't think for a minute PP has a lock on playing out his contract in Boston.. |
