Don’t tell Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens that game No. 82 of the NBA regular season is meaningless.
Even with the C’s firmly positioned already in the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and sitting out seven key contributors in their rotation, Stevens will look to see what his remaining cast can offer when they face the Washington Wizards Tuesday night.
Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier, Semi Ojeleye and Daniel Theis are the only players who average over 10 minutes a game expected to play.
