TONIGHT - 7:30, TD Garden. TV - CSN. Radio - WEEI-AM (850).
THE NUMBERS 1-1: Last year’s series between teams.
0-3: Celtics [team stats]’ current losing streak.
0: Second-chance points scored by Celtics Wednesday.
WHO’S HURT For the Celtics, Kevin Garnett (knee) is probable and Marquis Daniels (thumb surgery) is out. For the Blazers, Brandon Roy (hamstring) is questionable and Greg Oden (knee), Travis Outlaw (foot), Joel Przybilla (knee) and Nicholas Batum (shoulder) are out.cw-0
WHO’S HOT For the Celtics, Paul Pierce [stats] had a 19-point first half Wednesday. The Blazers are 18-8 when Andre Miller starts.
WHO’S NOT Pierce scored two points in the second half Wednesday.
BOTTOM LINE Garnett or no Garnett, the Celtics have developed a nasty tendency to collapse after taking a halftime lead. They have lost the last two games this way. They could easily lose their fourth straight overall tonight against a young Blazers team that, though hurt, is a far sight better than the Detroit team that just beat the Celtics.
