The Nets are on fire (9-1 in 2014) and the Celtics are not (2-15 in their 17 games). However, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett–both longtime Celtics–make their first return to Boston since the June trade that sent them to Brooklyn. Plenty of emotions are to be expected.

Probable Lineups

BKN- Shaun Livingston (PG), Alan Anderson (SG), Joe Johnson (SF), Paul Pierce (PF), Kevin Garnett (C)

BOS- Rajon Rondo (PG), Gerald Wallace (SG), Jeff Green (SF), Brandon Bass (PF), Jared Sullinger (C)

Final Thoughts

Returns are always difficult, and that's no different for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett tonight in Beantown. It doesn't mean they can't the lead the the Nets to a win, though.
