Celtics Rest Stars, Eyes on Playoffs

0:00On April 12th, the Boston Celtics have clinched the second seed in the Eastern Conference for the NBA playoffs, so they're using tonight's game against the Orlando Magic to rest their stars. Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown and Derek White are all ruled out, along with Center, Nia Mayas-Keta, who's dealing with the right toe-spray. Earlier today, about 24 hours before tip-off, the team puts seven players on the injury report that includes doubtful tags for Sam Houser with back spasms and Peyton Pritchard nursing a left foot issue. Kelt's fans aren't sweating much since five of the eight Eastern Conference seeds are locked in, and the last three spots live pretty stable. Matter what happens, with little on the line, eyes might turn to the Philadelphia 76ers facing the tanking Milwaukee Bucks, which could line up as Boston's first round match-up. All eyes now shift to the playoffs, where these rested Celtics could hit the ground running strong. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to Boston Celtics News today,
