ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Rajon Rondo, Shooting guard Ray Allen, Small forward Paul Pierce, Power forward Kevin Garnett, Center Kendrick Perkins. Bench -- Guard Eddie House, Forward/Center Rasheed Wallace, Guard/Forward Marquis Daniels, Forward Shelden Williams. PLAYER NOTES: --G Lester Hudson won't necessarily be the one heading to the D-League when G Tony Allen returns. Doc Rivers said second-year man J.R. Giddens could go, or the team might keep 13 players around and de-activate one each game.
--F Glen Davis will get the cast off his left thumb this week. Rivers is getting a lot of questions about how he'll help.
"The longer a guy is out, the better he gets," cracked the coach.
--F Bill Walker had 25 points and 11 rebounds in his D-League debut for Maine Friday night. The Red Claws lost to Sioux Falls.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--F Glen Davis (fractured right thumb) is out six weeks from October 27 surgery.
