"Celtics coach Doc Rivers said this morning at the team's shootaround that forward Kevin Garnett will still play about seven minutes in both the first and third quarters tonight against the Magic, but his workload will probably be increased by four minutes in the second and fourth quarters next week (Boston.com)."
Doc is doing the right thing here. There is no reason to overuse KG right now, and the Celtics are going to build him back up just in time for the playoffs. I really believe that overall getting KG his time off is going to pay dividends in the playoffs. The Big Three could be logging in some serious minutes if their second squad doesn't figure out a way to straighten themselves out, so this rest could prove important.

- Tony Allen, who is recovering from thumb surgery, will return in in two weeks.
- Leon Poweis expected to be back from his knee injury by the time the playoffs begin.
