NBA News: Starting Lineups for Celtics and Timberwolves
The Boston Celtics have had a tough stretch. They first lost All-Star Jaylen Brown to season-ending wrist surgery. They're also on a four-game losing streak and will be stuck playing in the NBA's new Play-in-Tournament.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have a loaded roster with D'Angelo Russell, Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but health this season was tough to come by.
They would have competed for a playoff spot if they had been healthy.
On Saturday afternoon, the Celtics will play the Timberwolves in essentially a meaningless game for both teams.
However, All-Star Jayson Tatum will be in the starting lineup.
The Timberwolves are 5-point favorites, according to FanDuel.
The full lineups for both the Timberwolves and the Celtics can be seen in two posts below from FantasyLabs NBA.
