What happened

Boston lists Jayson Tatum out for rest, Devin Carter out with illness, and Payton Pritchard questionable with a right shoulder contusion tonight.

Milwaukee’s only reported issue is Kam Jones as questionable, while Boston’s recent starting group has changed enough that the first unit remains unsettled.

LINEUP CONTEXT

That leaves Boston’s wing and guard rotation less settled, especially if Pritchard is unavailable and the Celtics continue mixing starters.
