Nicolas Batum hasn't won in Boston since Jaylen Brown was drafted by the Celtics. Current losing streak is at 9.

No official injury report yet, but Norman Powell might be OUT for this one. Al Horford most likely would be OUT too.

Clips have been playing great defense and are surprisingly good for a team with Harden and Norman Powell and I don't even know who else lol. Hopefully we make them look not so good tonight.

I would expect the LAC to put Queta or any center on an Island on defense. Or Boston does their infamous Drop Coverage. I think How Boston deals with that issue may be the biggest factor for winning or losing this game.

If there is a day Boston can go small with Tatum at center, perhaps this is it. Tatum, Brown and Hauser up front Jrue and D White I hope is the closing lineup at least. Switch everything and gang rebound. and play J Walsh in the 2nd quarter please.

I was just told on good authority Kristaps Porzingis intends to play tonight for the Celtics

KP is BACK

?s=46&t=2r3K1qCL2UmIu9zb8OVdDw

Good timing for Porzingis. Horford will be out on the second night of a back to back. Kornet is possibly out with the hamstring. That would have left only X and Q at center.

Maybe this will give us some energy vs a mediocre opponent

I was a game away from being right on my aggressive prediction. Thought he'd come back last night vs. the Wolves.

TD Garden ovation for KP will be bonkers.

No Al or Luke so KP is in line for a pretty significant role. This isn’t just a 5 minute test the foot type deal. I’d expect him to start.

Just need to sign Lonnie Walker now to complete the infinity gauntlet

Hey that's cool go KP!

Added bonus- the bench gets significantly bolstered when Horford plays again.

Also, you ever want double bigs? What flavor? Take your pick.

- WOW WOW WOW!

- They need Porzingis, as Zubac is a load, quite possibly the most underrated center in the NBA.
Always have been a big fan of the guy.

- Did I say, WOW WOW WOW!

- Party Time, Party Time, Garth.

- That Porzingis - PP pairing will be unstoppable - Full Thanos!

With KP coming back, here's the final tally pre-KP for our starting five with Horford:

+19.4 net rating on 341 possessions. That's the 5th highest # of possessions for any five-man lineup in the league and the highest net rating for any five-man lineup that's spent at least 200 possessions together.

AH on, KQX off: +13.8 net
AH/Q on: +3.2 net
AH/K on: +17.1 net
AH/X on: +9.8 net
Q on, AHKX off: +8.9 net
K on, AHQX off: +10.7 net

Most are small samples, but our bigs rotation did more than fine without KP.

Amazing Kudos to Brad (and for Wyc for stealing all the money).

Just having two centers as good as Al and Luke being out for the game and nbd just roll out KP, Tillman and Queta, fully stocked cabinet of bigs still ready to go.

17 games have been played. 65 games left. 65 games is the threshold for end of season awards. Makes you think.

Porzingis is back.

Now the Celtics have two sets of Big Threes again.
