Jrue Holiday, who’s missed only three games this season, is managing a right elbow sprain. His status isn’t the easiest to predict, but the Celtics will need his defense, as the Timberwolves are led by explosive guard Anthony Edwards and the Bucks have sharp-shooter Damian Lillard. Serving as the primary defender on those two dynamic scorers could end up being Holiday’s responsibility.

The Celtics aren’t the only team looking for rest, though. The Timberwolves are also in the midst of a back-to-back, as they beat the Orlando Magic 113-92 on Tuesday in Florida and now have to travel up to Beantown. Regardless of who sits for either side, the Celtics will hope to go 2-0 against two of the best teams in the NBA right now.
