The big news of the day? Doc Rivers said earlier this morning that Rajon Rondo will indeed play.
Here's a preview of the
Projected lineups:
Raptors:
Jose Calderon
DeMar DeRozan
Dominic McGuire
Andrea Bargnani
Jonas Valanciunas
Celtics:
Rajon Rondo
Jason Terry
Paul Pierce
Brandon Bass
Kevin Garnett
Keys to the game:
1. Stopping Bargnani: Since being the number one overall pick back in 2006, Bargnani has slowly emerged as a great scorer in this league. This season, he's averaging 16.3 points per game. He should be matched up with Pierce, and it should be fun to see these two go at it.
2. Rondo at the helm: With Rondo back running things for the Celtics, they should be clicking on all cylinders. One thing to watch though is if the early start has any effect on them. These players are creatures of habit and so routine-oriented that the early start could throw them off.
