Had not played hardly at all recently and took advantage of what time he got against a not so good Pelican team. I regular season game left. Hope he gets a chance to play and produce in the playoffs.

Gotta be frustrating for Luka. Start three or four games ago and now with Nikola back he sits. Nicola is gone next season. No future with him. The praise the Celtics coaching staff heap on Luka is pretty hollow. Actions more than words tell the real story.

They need Vucevic to be ready for the playoffs. They know that Luka is a guy that is always ready to play. So they sacrifice Luka’s minutes to try to get a guy that has historically been a better player going again for their playoff run.

This may be true and I don't want to argue that point. Just feel LG has earned more minutes than what he is getting. Yea I realize the rotation can go only so deep-just saying.

Interesting starting 5 today for the Celtics with the #2 seed locked up.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Nikola Vucevic & Derrick White rested & did not play.

Boston (56-26) beat Orlando (45-37), 113-108.

Luka started and played the 2nd most team minutes.

6'9" Nikola Vucevic, who took Luka's minutes, rested, as did Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown & Derrick White.

Luka's stats:

38 minutes (of 48 possible)

4 fouls committed

........3-6...(50%)...from 3
....7-12 (58%) from inside the arc
..............................................................
10-18 (56%) Overall shooting

Just as impressive as the offense stats…. Orlando’s starting BIGS went a combine 14-45 FGs. Not sure which Garza was primarily guarding but all three (including Paulo Banchero) had poor shooting nights and Garzas +\- was +13. Gotta give him some credit on D too!
