There's never an easy night at the office for Rajon Rondo. These days, seemingly every team in the NBA has a rising young point guard angling for his spot among the league's elite.
Friday night is no exception, as the Philadelphia 76ers' Jrue Holiday is one of those rising youngsters. The 20-year-old guard is helping to lead the Sixers back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture in his second season. He'll be a handful for Rondo on Friday at the Wells Fargo Center.
Meanwhile, Kevin Garnett draws a daunting matchup at power forward, going up against a fellow veteran star in Elton Brand.
The Sixers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, having won seven of their last nine. Rondo, Garnett and the C's can't take them lightly.
Here's the lineup card for C's-Sixers:
Celtics
Rajon Rondo, PG
Ray Allen, SG
Paul Pierce, SF
Kevin Garnett, PF
Nenad Krstic, C
