Enes Kanter entering Boston's lineup in final game of regular season

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter is starting in Thursday's regular-season finale against the Phoenix Suns.

What It Means:

The Celtics are starting Tremont Waters, Javonte Green, Romeo Langford, Semi Ojeleye, and Kanter in Thursday's inconsequential finale. Gordon Hayward (rest), Kemba Walker (knee), Jayson Tatum (ankle), Marcus Smart (rest), Jaylen Brown (rest), and Daniel Theis (foot) have all been ruled out. Kanter has a pair of 20-point games this season and is capable of pouring in a lot of points when given the opportunity, but his minutes may be managed in favor of some of the younger guys.

numberFire's models expect Kanter to score 20.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. He costs $3,700. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Celtics-Wizards game has a 225.0-point over/under.
