As much as I want us to win I also hope for health and recovery of the Celtics players.

I would expect Tatum to be out again.

Not sure on Jrue or Brown.

Brown was added during the shoot around, so I don't expect him to play. It must've been based on how he was feeling today.

What? It’s not a must win for the Celtics.

It would be nice to get 4 guys in double digits scoring in front of the home crowd.

If Paolo can score 100, have like 30 rebounds and 10+ assist, maybe we can keep it close.

Or if he scores 15 and everyone else step up, then Orlando can give themselves a chance.

Time to feel irrationally good about this team for a night again.

I hope the home cooking brings out the best in our guys. Would love to see some players build some momentum in their shooting and scoring that can hopefully travel back to Boston.

Brown is apparently being seen in his uniform, and Tatum is shooting.

Magic are paying 11:1 odds to win? With all the potential Celtics players being out that seems high.

It looks like the only one out might be Jrue. Brown was seen in his uniform, and Tatum has been warming up with Brown.
