Courtney Lee was privately "chafing" at the idea that he was benched in favor of guys like Jordan Crawford and Terrence Williams.

Can you blame him? Lee shot 46.4 percent from the field including 37.2 percent from behind the 3-point line, but he struggled to grasp Doc Rivers' schemes and was not a part of the playoff rotation. After signing a four-year deal in the 2012 offseason, Lee's name will be in trade rumors after his first season with the Celtics.

Courtney Lee tied his season-high with 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting in Saturday's game, knocking down three 3-pointers with four assists, two steals and one turnover.

This game was a breath of fresh air for Boston -- everyone but Jason Terry (suspended) was available and the Celtics' offense rampaged over the Magic, scoring 120 points on 59.3 percent shooting. Terry may not play in the final two games of the season, and C-Lee is coming off an 18-point game, which makes Lee worth a look for owners still scrounging the waiver wire.

Courtney Lee got back to speed vs. the Knicks on Sunday with 10 points, four rebounds and one block in 28 minutes off the bench.

C-Lee played just five minutes in his return from an ankle injury this weekend, but it looks as though he's ready to resume playing closer to 30 per game. He may soon start in a small-ball lineup, as starting center Chris Wilcox finished tonight's game with just two points in 12 minutes.
