Does it make sense to give Pritchard a shot to spread his wings, given what he has been able to do for Boston every time he 's had a bigger role?

Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard has heard the debate about the starting lineup, but he isn't concerned with it.

According to a report from NBA reporter Grant Afseth of FastbreakJournal.com, the Celtics appear likely to start Pritchard in the back-court while having Anfernee Simons come off the bench. Simons was the key return from the Portland Trail Blazers in the Holiday trade.
