Markkanen is OUT for the Jazz. Horford is OUT for the Celtics. I expect Holiday to be back but not Svi and Kristaps. No official word though.

The Celtics have yet to win in Utah since the pandemic. Last time we won there, Cs still employed Arson Carsen and Vinnie SexPants.

Random Factoid: Payton Pritchard is the only Celtic and one of only 20 players* who have played their every game this season. Only SIX players have started every game and Payton is not one of them.

*by my count

Spoiler:

Played every game this season, going into tonight's games:

Hmm Sexton has kind of the injury prone label, good for him.

Curious what Ainge's plan is next year, are they going to be Less Than Super for Cooper?

Probably a good amount of Tillman today and hopefully an off night for Tatum

Will just assume "off night" means he's not actually playing instead of playing but missing a ton of shots lol.

Idk just how good an NBA player he will be but he’s already got the best tanking monikers.

We could pick him up for a 10-Day.
Though, we don't need another PG, at this time.

Only Brad Stevens knows.

FYI
https://www.nbamaniacs.com/en/nba-glossary/10-day-contracts-work/#:~:text=NBA%20franchises%20can%20sign%20this,day%20contract%20to%20a%20player.

What are the key dates for 10-day contracts?
NBA franchises can sign this type of agreement from January 5 of each season, even if this day falls on a holiday, and up to 10 days before the last game of the regular season or, failing that, until game number 80 of the campaign. Beyond these barriers, franchises cannot extend a 10-day contract to a player.

Bored Stat of the Day: There are only FOUR players who's played 40+ games that have a 60%+ TS%, a 3.0+ A/TO, and a 10.0+ Net Rating -- SGA, Jokic, Horford, and Derrick White.

Our glue guys are in good company.

Bonus stat: Derrick White's FGA/game has dipped post-ASB but he has an active streak of NINE games dishing out 5+ assists. He also has a 5.0 A/TO in that span.

Speaking of, it was kind of crazy how good he was for a year or two. Check out his '16-'17 vs. AI's MVP season:

Big Luke Kornet game coming

Kornet has to Start.
We'll probably see both Tillman and Queta backup Kornet.

Didn't see the JB day off coming but that's smart of them to rest him on a B2B. We still have enough to win.

White | Jrue | Hauser | Tatum | Kornet
PP | Brissett | Tillman | Queta

I didn't think JB was moving around that well last night. He was doing a lot of stretching last night. Hopefully the back issue isn't long term.
