Boston Celtics starters expected to play in penultimate preseason game at New York Knicks<\/a> – originally posted on Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and their fellow Boston Celtics starters will suit up in tonight’s penultimate preseason outing vs the New York Knicks at TD Garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston have enjoyed a successful NBA<\/a> preseason campaign so far, beating the Philadelphia 76ers twice \u2013 once on the road and once at home \u2013 alongside falling to defeat against the Knicks last week.<\/p>\n

We saw the full array of Celtics starters in action for three quarters in the opening win vs the Sixers, with the second unit taking control against the Knicks and a mix of both in their second clash with Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Celtics will take on New York tonight in Boston before heading to Charlotte for their final preseason encounter vs the Hornets on Thursday, ahead of their regular season opener at Madison Square Garden next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Head coach Joe Mazzulla, who enters his second season in the position after being thrown into the deep end following Ime Udoka’s dismissal before the start of training camp last year, is keen to see his core group on the court as much as possible.<\/p>\n

“The more we can get them on the floor together [the better], working together and feeling each other out from a connective standpoint. Like I said, in training camp we’ve really been able to do that in practice, trying to simulate game-like situations.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’m confident in where those guys (the starters) are at from a connectivity standpoint because of how hard they’ve worked in training camp.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Mazzulla says everyone will play in #Celtics<\/a> #knicks<\/a> on TUE. Thursday at CHA is TBD<\/p>\n

“The more we can get them on the floor together … during training camp, we’ve been able to do that with practice … I’m confident where (the starters) are at.”<\/p>\n
