Who will start for the Boston Celtics on opening night vs. the Philadelphia 76ers?
Boston Celtics reserve guard Derrick White started all four preseason games and posted a solid showing as a 3-point shooter, switchable defender, ball handler and screener alongside star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and wing Jaylen Brown.
Despite the success of that unit in preseason play, interim Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said he’s still undecided about his starters ahead of the team’s opening night showdown against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Whether that’s to project a degree of uncertainty for the Sixers coaching staff just two days ahead of the game or an indication of possible matchup-based looks for Boston, CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning likes the look White provided and advocated for the Celtics to stay with what they have been doing.
