Greg Monroe scores 17 off the bench as Boston edges out OKC

Boston Celtics center Greg Monroe finished with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, adding 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in almost 22 minutes of action in Tuesday's one-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

Monroe has seen his role in the Celtics' offense expand a bit recently, with at least 12 field goal attempts in each of his last two games, while he hadn't previously attempted any more than nine in a game with Boston.

numberFire's models project Monroe to cool off with 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds in 18.8 minutes of action against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
