A five-day break in-between games rarely occurs during the NBA regular season, but when the scheduling gods gave the Boston Celtics that benefit, it was thought the time off would provide some much-needed rest and relaxation to recoup from injuries.

Robert Williams will miss at least three weeks due to a bone edema in his left hip and backup big man Vincent Poirier broke his right pinky figure.
