Celtics' Jonas Jerebko: Starts at power forward Monday
Jerebko will start at power forward for Monday's game against the Rockets, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis:
Jerebko will be making his first start in a Celtics' uniform, as coach Brad Stevens opted to promote him to the starting five just prior to tipoff and will move Amir Johnson into a bench role. He hasn't seen a ton of minutes up to this point in the season, usually being held to playing time in the upper-teens. However, Jerebko's been effective during those shorter stints, so he'll move into the top unit and should see a decent bump in minutes.
