So Barnes is now out instead of questionable?
Maybe sit RJ as well? i.e. if he's still recovering from the injury, I don't see why we should risk it in a game where both our top guys are out.

No, he and BI are still listed as questionable.

CMB will be the offensive hub this game!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

If Barnes and BI are out, just give the young guys an extended run.
Let's see some Alijah Martin!
CMB Legacy game! Go get a triple double!

I don’t see how Scottie can come back and finish the game vs the Hornets but then can’t play 2 days later?

F***.... I got PTSD from RJ's recent "day to day" right knee sprain that resulted in him missing over 3 weeks.

We saw it with RJ being out. Nobody stepped up to fill the void.

Pritchard going off.
It good trial run to see if CMB can step up in Scotties absence.

If Barnes is doubtful and Ingram is still potentially hurt there's literally no point in even trying to play them. Celtics would just blow us out the gym anyways
Rest up for the more important matchup with the sixers
