The Boston Celtics and New Jersey Nets square off for the second consecutive game tonight in Newark, New Jersey. Tune into Comcast SportsNet and 850 AM WEEI at 7:00pm for full coverage.
Keep it in mind: Devin Harris did not play in Sunday's game, but is expected to start in tonight's contest.
Who's Hot: For the Celtics, Paul Pierce scored 25 points on 8-12 shooting on Sunday.
Who's Not: Rajon Rondo has shot just 7-20 in the Celtics' first three preseason games, good for just 35 percent.
Key Matchup: Rajon Rondo vs. Devin Harris
Skinny: The Celtics' second unit played a critical role in vanquishing the Nets on Sunday. Using a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter, the reserves propelled the Celtics' lead to 87-74, enough of a gap to endure a late Nets run in the final minutes of the frame. With Harris in the fold tonight, look for more pressure to fall on Rondo, who has yet to show too much this preseason. Perhaps some steadier competition opposite him is what he needs right now.
