The Boston Celtics kick off a seven-game homestand by facing one of the Western Conference’s best teams in the Los Angeles Clippers. In what could be a preview of the NBA’s 2024 Finals, it should be a close, intense battle.
As far as player health goes, for Boston, star center Kristaps Porzingis is out with a sprained ankle. For Los Angeles, coming off the front end of a back-to-back with the Toronto Raptors the night before, several players are on the injured list. They include Ivica Zubac, out with a calf strain, as is Moussa Diabatae with a broken hand.
Paul George is listed as questionable with a groin strain.
