THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR

1. Domantas Sabonis’ effectiveness: He came back sooner than expected from his ankle injury. The Celtics already attack bigs in their offensive actions, but this will be a chance to take it to another level. By that I mean not only attacking him with the ball handler, but putting him in off-ball actions and forcing him to move. Send two guys to box him out so he has to push harder off the foot. Cut when he’s guarding you so he has to chase. Do anything to get him moving. 

2. Encourage isolation: DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine will try to do it all themselves, especially if things are close late in the game. Stay home on help, keep Kristaps Porzingis roaming, and let them try to be heroes. 

3. Keep Porzingis rolling: The most important thing the Celtics can do right now is make sure Pozingis is ready for the playoffs, so keep feeding him for easy looks and let him keep getting his feel right.
