Total guess: Holiday will rest, Springer will be available.

I guessed right. Springer IN, Holiday OUT.

I'm thinking Hauser. But, only to keep the continuity of the Bench with Pritchard.
Otherwise, Start Pritchard, and take him out early, to come back with the Bench? He has earned it.

Al-Queta double big terrorizing those dinosaurs to start the game is my guess.

Are you able to bet on Raptors being ahead 12-2 to start the game?

This is correct. It will be Queta and Horford starting.

Is it a Brown-Dick matchup or a White-Dick face off?

I saw KP dunking during warmups. That means he's close! He'll be back before the playoffs start!

I don't think Queta is ready yet, for the solo Start?

Back in the days when PG was out he was replaced by a PG. But on Boston a PG goes out and is replaced by a Center. :o

My guess is mostly that is Joe wants to keep PP and his high energy coming off the bench.

BUT... I do think there is a little truth to the Idea that If Joe starts PP and PP and the starters excel together, there might be a controversy about PP becoming a starter.

well, that is my conspiracy theory of the day .. so..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

We could use him for the Cavs Game.
That's also an NBA Cup Matchup.

Raptors going back to back. Don’t settle for 3s. Play like you did last time around.

They could beat the cavs without kp. Not buying the cavs hype.

I think that if both PG's are Out, then you might have to Start Pritchard.
Then again, there's no one behind Pritchard.

To even the playing field, Raps going back to back, so the Cs should settle for 3s to make it interesting.

That's where I want to see a triple big lineup of KP, Al, Q, JB, and JT.
