Boston beat Chicago 125-111 in its NBA Cup opener after a 44-point first quarter and a 78-49 halftime lead, with Payton Pritchard scoring 20 before intermission.
Jordan Walsh said Boston has several players who can fill the starter spot, and Joe Mazzulla stressed the Celtics will keep mixing lineups early in the season.
Boston is 3-1, and Paul George has driven early defensive disruption while Jayson Tatum has shifted into a career-best playmaking role through four games.
Joe Mazzulla said Boston trusted its sports science staff after Jayson Tatum logged more than 40 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back against Brooklyn.
