Rondo (hand) will start Wednesday's regular season opener against the Nets, the Boston Herald reports. Rondo, who broke his hand barely a month ago, will culminate his quick recovery by being ready to start at point guard in Wednesday's season opener. As a result, rookie first-rounder Marcus Smart will come off the bench. Since Rondo has been a full participant in recent practices, it's likely he'll be able to play without restriction moving forward, offering fantasy owners fantastic production from the point guard position.
