The Boston Celtics are inside of the last quarter of the 2022-23 NBA season and will need to make some decisions on whether to prioritize getting to the postseason as healthy as possible or pushing as hard as they can for the best playoff seeding possible. They also need to find opportunities for their ostensible starters to play more than the sparse minutes they have had together — but need to tinker a bit to maximize bench rotations as well.
With just 19 games left in this season at the time of this writing, the Milwaukee Bucks in the East’s first-place slot with a half-game lead, and the Philadelphia 76ers far enough behind that the Celtics ought to be safe from falling lower than the No. 2 seed. But could the other late-season priorities — or the Bucks’ seeming inability to lose — change the calculus of the ball club?
