Al Horford and Marcus Smart out tonight vs Clippers

The Celtics (34-14) enter tonight's game in Los Angeles against the Clippers (23-13) losers of four straight. After a 108-107 loss to the Lakers at the Staples Center last night the green will enter the same arena this evening without two of their most important players:

Marcus Smart out tonight v Clippers. He suffered a lacerated hand and needed stitches after being cut on broken glass at the hotel today... Al Horford also out. Doctors say he didn't suffer a concussion last night, but Celts want to be sure.
