The 37-15 Boston Celtics will host the 27-26 Phoenix Suns at TD Garden on Friday night in a rematch that saw the Celtics blow out the Suns on their home court, so expect a little extra out of Phoenix tonight. Boston will be looking to make it 3 wins in a row while the Suns will likely want revenge as much as to get back in the win column.

Injuries of note
For the Celtics, Danilo Gallinari (ACL), and Marcus Smart (ankle), are out.
For the Suns, Devin Booker (groin), Jae Crowder (not with team), Cameron Payne (foot), and Landry Shamet (foot) are all out as well, and Josh Okogie (nose) listed as available.
