The Celtics look to extend their winning streak to three games and climb over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Their first divisional opponent, the Philadelphia 76ers, will pay a visit to the TD Garden tonight. They boast the same record as the Celtics at 2-2.
Projected lineups:
Sixers:
Jrue Holiday
Evan Turner
Dorell Wright
Thaddeus Young
Lavoy Allen
Celtics:
Rajon Rondo
Courtney Lee
Paul Pierce
Jared Sullinger
Kevin Garnett
Keys to the game:
1. Calling on the Captain: It's time for Paul Pierce to break out. He put up 27 last Saturday night, but we have yet to see The Truth have a big game. And now that the Sixers do not have Andre Iguodala to harass him, Pierce should go off.
2. Guard play: This game should come down to the guards. Lavoy Allen and Thaddeus Young should give Kevin Garnett and the Celtics bigs a good battle as they did during last year's playoffs. Look for Rajon Rondo and Jason Terry to take over.
