The Celtics looked perfectly healthy on Monday night against the Orlando Magic, in Kevin Garnett's first game back from a lower leg injury.
Garnett was solid to the tune of 19 points and eight boards, while Shaquille O'Neal showed no signs of a leg injury after his fall on Sunday. The C's were rock-solid in a 109-106 win over their conference rivals.
In the second game back, the C's will take on the Detroit Pistons, meaning KG and Shaq will go up against veteran big man Chris Wilcox and rookie Greg Monroe. There will be no shortage of size in this contest, as both teams boast a pair of imposing bigs.
The other matchup to watch will be Rajon Rondo against the Pistons' guards. The Pistons have been using Tracy McGrady at the point for extended stretches this season, but it remains to be seen whether Rondo can hold his own as an on-ball defender against the 6-foot-8 T-Mac.
Here's the lineup card for C's-Pistons:
Celtics
Rajon Rondo, PG
Ray Allen, SG
Paul Pierce, SF
Kevin Garnett, PF
Shaquille O'Neal, C
