PG	R. Rondo 10.4	T. Parker 17.5
SG	R. Allen 17.0	M. Ginobili 17.8
SF	P. Pierce 18.7	R. Jefferson 11.1

Two old teams on a downward spiral are facing off and to be honest I much rather the Spurs when Tony Parker, Manu, Tim Duncan and McDyess are all gimpy. Parker is considered the most likely of the Spurs' injured players to return Thursday, though McDyess also has a chance to play. Ginobili, injured in Sunday's loss at Memphis, said he was feeling "much better" on Monday, but his status and Duncan's are unknown.

That's a good thing and good news for Rondo who is coming off a good game against the Pacers. Rondo can absolutely take advantage of Parkers injury and age and blow passed him all game. Since the Celtics recent struggles this would be a perfect game to right the ship and get Paul Pierce and Ray Allen going. The Spurs are a good team and even though they have injuries this will still be a quality win.

I think the Celtics turn the switch on and win this game big.

Celtics 112-94
