As I noted earlier KG and Pietrus are doubtful for the game tonight, Bass is still out and Jermaine is questionable. That is going to leave the Celtics pretty thin up front. Still, with Allen, Pierce and Rondo on the court I don't see the Celtics losing the lowly Pistons.
Pistons are just 8-22 on the season, the Celtics have won six of seven overall against Detroit and four in a row at home. Rondo should have a huge game. Stuckey/Knight are a decent PGs, but not on the level of Rondo. The question is whether or not Rondo feels like turning on the jets. I say he doesn't and the Celtics lean on Pierce to win tonight. Prince had the length to give him trouble, so I expect this game to actually be pretty close.
The main storyline for me is to see the young guys (especially Johnson) get some playing time. I really feel they are going to be important if the Celtics are going to make any kind of playoff run.
Celtics win 88-84
Tommy Award: Pierce
Game starts at 7:30pm
