With seven days left until the start of the regular season, many Celtics fans are wondering who will be the starting five for Boston?
Prior to tip off, coach Joe Mazzulla announced he would start newly acquired guard Jrue Holiday over veteran big man Al Horford in tonight’s matchup against the Knicks. Mazzulla opted for a smaller lineup which consisted of Jrue Holiday and Derrick White in the backcourt, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum at the three and four, and Porzingis at the five.
In his 16th NBA season, Horford has been a bonafide starter in all but 10 games.
