Wizards will face Celtics backup squad in home finale

← return to Wizards Watch

The Wizards will play the Celtics in their home finale, or at least a team wearing Celtics uniforms. Less than an hour before tip off, it was announced that Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo would all be sitting out tonight’s game.

All four will be on the bench in street clothes, while the Celtics starting five will consist of:

Delonte West

Von Wafer

Jeff Green

Glen Davis

Jermaine O’Neal

The Celtics (55-25) are in third place in the Eastern Conference behind the Bulls and Heat, and will play their final game at home against the Knicks on Wednesday.

No word yet on which Celtics team will take the court against New York, who could be their first round playoff opponent.
