EDGE Analysis

Boston stuck with an eight-man rotation, which forced Richardson to play major minutes despite coming off the bench. He earned his PT through efficient shooting and defensive effort. Richardson, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown also delivered a defensive effort that held Chris Paul and Devin Booker to 13-of-41 shooting. Boston will stay home to face the Orlando Magic on Sunday. Expect Richardson to continue to see big minutes as multiple Celtics deal with COVID-19 protocols.
