In this story:

The Boston Celtics don't appear to be taking it easy on the Toronto Raptors.

Both Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams III are off the injury report and will play Wednesday night for Boston. The Celtics have listed Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, and Payton Pritchard are all questionable to play. Al Horford and Danilo Gallinari are both out.

As for Toronto, Gary Trent Jr. remains questionable with lower back spasms. He's now missed seven straight games and is running out of time to return before the play-in tournament. The Raptors have been hoping to get the 24-year-old back on the court with enough time to ramp him up before playing a must-win play-in game later this month.

Jeff Dowtin Jr. is not listed on Toronto's injury report and his situation with the Raptors remains unclear. He has now been active in 50 games this season and is ineligible to play until his two-way contract is converted to a standard deal. The Raptors would have to waive someone, presumably Thad Young or Joe Weisekamp, to make room for Dowtin on the roster. Toronto, however, is yet to make a roster move and Dowtin will therefore be ineligible to play again for the Raptors until the move is made.

Both teams are playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
