And now Pascal Siakam gets a rest night, the Raptors say, and the starters shall be
VanVleet, Barnes, Anunoby, Achiuwa, Birch – 7:13 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Joe Mazzulla said tonight would be roughly like a regular season game with playing time and rotations.
That has me thinking we may see Derrick White as parting of the starting group for a while with Robert Williams out. – 7:03 PM

Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Gary Trent (IT band tightness) and Pascal Siakam (rest) won’t play tonight in addition to previously mentioned Otto Porter, Malachi Flynn and Chris Boucher. Precious Achiuwa and Khem Birch start with VanVleet, Barnes and Anunoby – 6:41 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Montreal native Khem Birch gets the start in his hometown. The Raptors will go with VanVleet, Barnes, Anunoby, Achiuwa and Birch in their preseason finale vs Boston, with Siakam resting and Trent/Porter/Boucher/Flynn out. – 6:34 PM
Mike Ganter @Mike_Ganter
Montreal native Khem Birch joins VanVleet, Barnes, Anunoby and Achiuwa in the starting five in Montreal as Raps take on Celtics. – 6:33 PM

For tonight, Raptors will start
Fred VanVleet
Scottie Barnes
O.G. Anunoby

Khem Birch – 6:32 PM
Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
Raptors resting Pascal Siakam in Montreal tonight, they say. Gary Trent out too (IT band) along with Boucher, Porter and the rest. – 6:29 PM
Mike Ganter @Mike_Ganter
So add Gary Trent Jr with a hip issue to those not playing tonight in Montreal. He joins Otto Porter Jr, Chris Boucher and Malachi Flynn. Raps will also rest Pascal Siakam which likely means Precious Achiuwa and one one other will join starters. – 6:29 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
Pascal Siakam joins Gary Trent as out tonight – 6:27 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Pascal Siakam is out (rest) tonight – 6:25 PM
Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach

Joe Mazzulla says #Celtics will go close to regular season approach in terms of minutes.
“So we can head into the regular season with some momentum.” – 6:02 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Nick Nurse wasn’t aware of Toronto’s pursuit of Brogdon that the guard mentioned on SIRIUS. Nurse woke up one day and thought “that’s a good addition” for Boston. – 5:59 PM

Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Gary Trent Jr. bumped his hip vs. Bulls and has been out of practice. He won’t play vs. Celtics, though there was hope he’d be ready vs. Boston. – 5:56 PM
Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Add Gary Trent Jr to the list of non-participants tonight for the Raptors in Montreal. Took a knock on his hip last game, Nick Nurse just told us – 5:55 PM
Paul Jones @Paul__Jones
No Boucher, Trent Jr. or Porter Jr. tonight for the @Toronto Raptors vs. @Celtics per Coach Nurse #rtz5:55 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Nurse says Otto Porter jr. (hamstring) hasn’t played in weeks, so certainly doesn’t seem all that close to a return (my inference) and Boucher (hamstring) is out for ‘a couple of weeks.’ – 5:54 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Gary Trent Jr. will miss tonight’s game due to right IT band tightness – 5:54 PM
Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
Gary Trent Jr. won’t play tonight due to right IT band tightness – 5:53 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Gary Trent Jr. will miss tonight’s preseason finale vs Boston with knee tightness. Porter, Flynn and Boucher remain out as well. – 5:53 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
No Chris Boucher or Gary Trent tonight. – 5:52 PM
