3 years agoBoston Celtics shooting guard Aaron Nesmith has been elevated to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies with Jaylen Brown (ankle) unavailable. Nesmith has combined to shoot 3-for-15 overall, including 0-for-9 from behind the arc, in his two prior starts during his career. Nesmith will carry DFS appeal due to his low price tag, but he is more of a tournament play due to his streaky shooting (36.8% field goal percentage in 2021-22). With Nesmith in the starting lineup, Derrick White can be expected to continue seeing a significant chunk of offensive usage among the second unit.--Jesse Borek
