Celtics@ NYK Game # 35 Tidbits

Celtics announce that Shane Larkin (knee soreness) and Marcus Morris (knee rehab) are out tonight vs. Knicks. Starter Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable due to Achilles soreness. Rookie Jayson Tatum appears ready to go after dislocating his right pinkie in Wednesday's loss to the Heat.

Injuries are starting to pile up.

I always enjoy a good Celtics/Knicks battle.

They are 16-14 with a solid 14-5 record at home. They are a good team and have 5 guys that score in double figure. The Celtics need to play well in all key areas including at the defensive end and rebounding. Jaylen may not play so Smart and Rozier will need to be on their games. Al had a real stinker last night so he has a chance at some redemption. Celts are not happy about losing to the Heat last night.

This has been a grueling schedule.
