With Marcus Smart unavailable for the game, the Boston Celtics may struggle on defense, although they have enough offense to post what could be their 11th victory of the 2020-21 NBA season.

Center – Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)

Draymond Green may have his task cut put as the Boston Celtics boast an array of potential offensive threats that are expected to hurt the Golden State Warriors. However, in Draymond Green, the Warriors have a defender who is capable of holding down the fort on that end of the floor.
