3 starters out tonight; Kemba out tomorrow as well

Pretty sure the next game Brad Stevens gets to coach a full Celtics roster will his first of this season. As expected Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker will sit out tonight's match-up vs the Thunder. Robert Williams was upgraded yesterday to "questionable," but no he's out as well.

But wait there's more! Kemba Walker will not play the second half of this back-to-back as was speculated. Seems his oblique injury concerns the Celtics enough that they want to be extra cautious. I'm not a doctor, but people tend to compensate when they are injured, so the Celtics may worry if Kemba plays through the pain he'll put unnecessary added stress on his knee. But your guess is as good as mine.

Evan Fournier and Semi Ojeleye will get the starts in place of Walker and Tatum tonight. As usual, Tristan Thompson will start for the injured Time Lord.

New rule: Bobblehead player must actually play that night.
