without George the Clippers aren't very good. Even with him this is a trap game for them and a Vegas special. I'd bet Cs tonight

PG will likely play, though.
He's still listed as Questionable.

It's possible he doesn't, he was just added to the injury report today which is never a good sign. However, you can't bank on other teams being hurt of course

So, wait a minute. If Brown's OUT, and Smart's OUT, and Pritchard just got back.
Who's Starting?

Celtics vs Clippers:
Starters: Kemba - ______? - Tatum - Theis - Thompson
Rotation: Teague - Pritchard - Nesmith - G.Williams - R.Williams
Reserves: Edwards - Green - Ojeleye
Two-Ways: Waters - Fall

Not sure how difficult our schedule to start the season was back in 2018-19, but I just realized we've had a better start record-wise after 20 games this season -- 11-9 vs. 10-10.

Really would like us to get over the hump in one of these tough matchups. Feel like we need this one.

It's basically as simple as play Rob Williams 20+ minutes and win.

Jaylen shot 39% last game and Tatum 42% (2-10 on 3s).

We either need Kemba's shot to start falling or Tatum to have a monster game. Maybe both.

With no Jaylen, this is the perfect game for Kemba to have a 30-point game.
