Game 7: Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics; going for 4 in a row

The Nets are looking to make a statement tonight against their division opponent Boston Celtics and show them that they’ve arrived and they’re for real. They’ll be going for their fourth win in a row and more importantly they are looking to take care of business at home in the Barclays Center.

Here are the expected lineups:

Brooklyn Nets (4-2)

  1. Deron Williams
  2. Joe Johnson
  3. Keith Bogans
  4. Kris Humphries
  5. Brook Lopez

Boston Celtics (5-3)

  1. Leandro Barbosa
  2. Jason Terry
  3. Paul Pierce
  4. Brandon Bass
  5. Kevin Garnett

Gerald Wallace is still out, but MarShon Brooks is expected to play tonight. Tornike Shengelia will not be active.

Rajon Rondo is expected to sit out after rolling his ankle against the Utah Jazz last night. In a way that injury actually makes this game more important to win because they should win with Rondo out.
