BOSTON — The Celtics will roll out a completely new starting lineup when they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night for Game 7.

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White will start as per usual.

In addition, Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., and Luka Garza will start in place of Jayson Tatum, Sam Hauser, and Neemias Queta.

Tatum will miss his first game in these playoffs with what Joe Mazzulla described as “back-of-knee” tightness. Tatum is day-to-day after being ruled out two hours before tip-off. Hauser and Queta, meanwhile, will come off the bench.

Garza, Scheierman, and Harper Jr led the Celtics to victory in the final game of the regular season, beating the Orlando Magic. Now, those guys get a chance to save the Celtics season.

Celtics-76ers tips off at 7:30pm ET.
