In the first of their final 5 games of the regular season, our Boston Celtics squared off against the New Orleans Pelicans. It was announced before the game that Evan Turner would sit it out, so going in we knew our 2nd unit in particular would be undermanned. However, we were facing a team that was just overall undermanned and heading in the opposite direction as the C's, as illustrated by this pregame Sean Grande tweet.
Celtics and Pelicans met on December 7.
The Celtics starting lineup tonight is exactly the same.
The Pelicans? Just Omer Asik.
