The Celtics are built to regain the title they won in 2008. The additions of Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels give Boston even more depth and a chance to cut down the minutes of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Garnett must prove he is healthy after missing 25 games and the entire playoffs last season. The only bright side to Garnett being injuried last season was how the younger guys stepped up in his absence. Rajon Rondo looked like an all star in the playoffs, Glen Davis averaged 15.8 points per game during the playoffs and gives the Celtics another player they trust in the front court. The Celtics should be the NBA’s top defensive team after ranking third last season.

Key Additions: Rasheed Wallace, Marquis Daniels, Shelden Williams

Key Subtractions: Mikki Moore, Leon Powe, Gabe Pruitt, Stephon Marbury

Projected Starting Lineup: Rajon Rondo/ Ray Allen/ Paul Pierce/ Kevin Garnett/ Kendrick Perkins

Key Reserves: Rasheed Wallace, Glen Davis, Marquis Daniels, Tony Allen, Eddie House, Bill Walker
