The Boston Celtics will face the Denver Nuggets on March 7 at State Farm Arena, and this will be the first time they have played with their starting lineup intact.
The C’s announced on Wednesday that Jrue Holiday, who practiced on Wednesday, will return from a five-game absence due to a right AC joint sprain as they get ready for the second half of their mini-series against the Hawks.
Derrick White, the second member of Boston’s backcourt, is also accessible. His right hand strain kept him out of the Hawks’ previous meeting.
Al Horford, though, will be out for the visitors because of a sprained big toe on the left foot. In Monday’s 120-118 loss to Atlanta, the 16-year veteran finished with seven points, nine rebounds, a steal, and a block.
Jaden Springer’s tendinopathy in his left knee keeps him from being active. Xavier Tillman, on the other hand, is available after missing Monday’s game due to swelling in his left knee.
