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 Brian Scalabrine, Forward Shelden Williams, Guard Lester Hudson, Guard J.R. Giddens. PLAYER NOTES: --G Marquis Daniels has been handling the ball more with the second team. That was Doc Rivers' original plan, but the Celtics had gotten away from that early.
--F Glen Davis has managed to impress the Celtics even though he still can't play (fractured right thumb).
"He's really worked hard and he looks in better shape," said coach Doc Rivers. "He looks like he's really put some time into conditioning, and that's a great way of winning your teammates back."
--F Rasheed Wallace has appealed four of his technical fouls from this season. But he admits he deserves the one he got in Charlotte Tuesday, saying he cursed. Wallace's hope is to back off his path to 16 technicals, which would mean a one-game suspension.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--F Glen Davis (fractured right thumb) will be in a cast another two weeks from Dec. 3.
--G Tony Allen (rehab from right ankle surgery) is back practicing.
