Possible Starting Lineups for the Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics have a very talented roster, which makes it tough to predict the starting lineup, but here are some ideas!

1. Defensive/ Rebounding Lineup

PG - Isaiah Thomas

SG - Marcus Smart

SF - Gordon Hayward

PF - Al Horford

C - Arron Baynes

If Celtics are matched up against team with a elite frontcourt like the New Orleans Pelicans, expect the Boston Celtics to use this lineup, which allows better interior defense and rebounding with both Al Horford and Arron Baynes down in the post.

2. Quick/Athletic Lineup

PG - Isaiah Thomas

SG - Jaylen Brown

SF - Gordon Hayward

PF - Marcus Morris

C - Al Horford

If Brad Stevens needs a lineup that can play at a fast pace, this lineup is the one to use. Jaylen Brown is a athletic freak and Morris is one of the fastest players at PF position, which could cause trouble for opposing teams.

3. Versatility Small Ball Lineup

PG - Isaiah Thomas

SG - Jae Crowder

SF - Gordon Hayward

PF - Marcus Morris

C - Al Horford

This could be Brad Stevens favorite go-to lineup, Jae Crowder, Gordon Hayward and Marcus Morris and all capable of guarding positions from the 2 to the 4, which means opposing offenses would have a harder time finding mismatches outside of Thomas, and this lineup also allows the Boston Celtics to go with a small ball lineup as all 5 players can shoot above average from deep.
