The Celtics will enter this game shorthanded with Chris Wilcox (personal reasons) and Mickael Pietrus (sore right knee) out for tonight as the Celtics prepare for their season-defining eight-game road trip. The Celtics are used to playing without their full roster and the Blazers will be without sparkplug swingman Elliot Williams, who dislocated his left shoulder during a practice Thursday at Emerson College.
