The Celtics are as usual a banged up bunch, with three starters out for this rematch with the Magic. Rajon Rondo (right wrist), Jermaine O'Neal (bruised left knee) and Ray Allen (jammed left ankle) will not play.

Doc Rivers does welcome back Mickael Pietrus, Keyon Dooling and Chris Wilcox, so the Celtics will have added depth. The Magic are a healthy bench with revenge on their minds, so it should be an interesting game,
