Jaylen Brown - AVAILABLE
Danilo Gallinari (left knee ACL repair) - OUT
Al Horford (right knee swelling) - QUESTIONABLE
Luke Kornet - AVAILABLE
Marcus Smart (right ankle sprain) - OUT
Robert Williams (left ankle sprain) - QUESTIONABLE

At this point whenever Timelord is "questionable" it's almost a given he's out.

But with Horford also questionable, it makes me wonder if Timelord plays but Horford is out. But if we are missing Horford AND Timelord tonight then YIKES

Embiid is also questionable, so it's shaping up to be a game of wings and guards.  I like our chances in that matchup.
Embiid has been questionable for the last 6 games but has played in them so I'm expecting him to play in this one also.

Philly and Boston have very different interpretations of the word “questionable” it seems.

Who's going to play center tonight?

I would but my back hurts  8)

Come on! Tough it out!

I ll be sitting this one out beer in hand , in the easy chair letting Kornet take care of my “ light work “

I m saving myself when they really- really need me …..when Embiid plays .

No Al or Rob tonight. This one probably gets ugly early with Kornet trying to guard Embiid.

Just in time for the trade deadline to reinforce that we have no big men that are reliable.

Good grief. Made of glass, particularly Timelord.

Brad - you simply have to get another serviceable big. Very important game for us and our two starting bigs aren’t available.

This is a big game.  Too bad no Al or Rob.  Hopefully Embiid does not play.  if he does he may score 50 with 25 FT attempts.

What a letdown. I was so looking forward to this match up. Oh well, maybe Embiid sits this one out too.

not good at all if true. but i did not see Al as out. and TL was listed as questionable.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Tough game tonight without Rob and Al.  Luke and Blake will be kept busy and we probably will see Kabengele.  Should be fun kicking Philly's ass tonight.

Embiid should have 35 by half time.

Embiid's going to ring up 50 at least with 20 points minimum from the line.

can't believe the C's are still favored to win this game.
