DWhite out for the game for personal reasons. Will Joe go double big with Al?

He probably will, but there's no need against this opponent, esp if Claxton is out.

I hope Brisset starts and Al comes off the bench. I guess we'll see.

Great idea Liam. You beat me to it by seconds.

This will allow Joe to play Al and KP together. Unfortunately we have to see Kornet off the bench. That just ruins the vibe.

I do wonder how effective AL and KP will be playing together.

I hope Hauser starts. Keep five threats (from distance) on the floor and you can don't have to adapt your offense.
And I agree to keep Horford as the veteran presence on the bench unit.

Holiday (36) / Pritchard (24)
Hauser (28)
Tatum (36) /  Mykhailiuk (12)
Brown (36) /  Brissett (12)
Porzingis (32) / Horford (24)

His hustle seems like a good fit next to four top of the line offensive players.

Opportunity for Pritchard tonight to step up.

I think Hauser is most likely to start but I would like to see Brissett.

this is my bet as well, hauser to start. hauser showed last game he can shoot and his defense is fine as long as he has other strong defenders around him.

off bench will be big Al and pritchard. 8th man? I expect brisset as many people here say. he will come in for defense and give different players time to rest.

9th man? probably kornet. who knows? maybe he will wake up and return his "glory days."

Celtics -9...this game has trap written all over it.

I sense we finally lose this one as no other undefeated teams left remain.

I don't know. The Nets have been a mess to start the season as they to re-introduce Ben Simmons into the team. I would see this more as a trap game if BKN were playing like they were late last season when they had togetherness and unity and punched above their weight. Now, they just look like a paper tiger that will fall apart when hit.

They're 3-2 and tied for 3rd in the East.  They lost to the Cavs by 1 and the Mavs by 5.  I don't think the Nets will win but hardly a paper tiger.

Ben Simmons also out tonight. This is definitely a trap game now
