Not a long injury report for the Celtics:
Devin Carter - Illness - OUT
Derrick White - Right Hip Synovitis - PROBABLE
A “period of weeks” is a bit spooky…Celtics first play the Raptors in November
Hugo Gonzalez on the Celtics throwing a lot of different players and lineups out there:
“We got a lot of good players that really (have) proved that they can play on a high level…I think that (says a lot of) good about us. That we got a lot of guys who are ready to go.”
Payton Pritchard on Mike Conley making his Celtics debut:
“Just an unbelievable person, obviously still in unbelievable shape for his age. And I was telling him, like one of the back taps he had, I'm like he looked like a DB still. He’s just a freak.”
Payton Pritchard on Joe Mazzulla saying “heat checks” aren’t actually heat checks for him:
“I work on those shots, so it doesn’t really feel like a bad shot. And obviously it’s not if it goes in.”
Joe Mazzulla on Hugo Gonzalez’s bounce-back game, and how he doesn’t really view it as one:
“I think he's played well even in those two games. Whether it's 2.5 minutes or 3 minutes…he’s done things that have impacted winning…Tonight it was like the best version of him getting better.”

Celtics are now 2-1 with the second leg of a back-to-back coming tomorrow.
We'll see who plays, but it'll be a good test for Boston's stamina.
Payton Pritchard was in a flow state, as the Celtics lead 105-75 heading into the fourth quarter.
Huge for Boston to win those minutes without Jayson Tatum on the floor.
Buddy Hield needed a map to guard Payton Pritchard, as the Celtics lead 101-73 with 1:22 left in the third quarter.
There's truly no limit to Pritchard's range.
Derrick White is making up for some of his misses by forcing turnovers, as the Celtics lead 71-59 with 8:33 to go in the third quarter.
Mitchell Robinson's rebounding presence has been felt tonight, which is what Boston needs from him.
