Key Celtics listed as "questionable" for match-up with 1st place Cavs

The Boston Celtics will kick off December versus the first place Cavaliers tomorrow evening in Cleveland followed by hosting the Miami Heat on Monday at the TD Garden. NBA teams often rest stars during back-to-backs, but the Celtics don't appear to be tipping their hand on who will rest which night. Starting guards Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are both listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report for tomorrow. Bigs Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis are both listed as questionable as well so the team is looking like they will be shorthanded.

Porzingis will definitely get one of the games off, as the Celtics practice an abundance of caution with the 7'3" Latvian center and Horford likely one as well. The 38 year old Horford who had to play a larger early season role with Porzigis out following surgery to repair a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis tendon, needs to get some games off during the regular season in order to be full strength coime the playoffs when the Celtics look to repeat and capture Banner 19.

It's anyone's guess which game Mazzulla decides to sit each bigout. You can check out betting apps available in your state and make predictions on how the Celtics will fare.
