Boston Celtics - Minnesota Timberwolves

The last game before the all-star break and we need to try to catch Chad's attempt at a triple double, as the circumstances are favorable. CC is back in the top 5 of the updated MVP rankings, so against good teams, he needs to both score and excel in filling up the stat sheet to join the MVP conversation. Another thing, after the trades, important players Stewart and Duren have been suspended, so CC will have to step up on the court himself, which is not unfamiliar to him. Since last season, CC has had a number of series with double-digit numbers in the stat lines. The Pistons and Raptors are both known for their strong defenses, so there should be opportunities to grab rebounds in this game.
