After their 109-93 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday night, the 5-2 Boston Celtics will look to get back into the win column on Wednesday night when they host the 1-6 Milwaukee Bucks. This is the Celtics' last home game before a four-game road trip that begins on Friday.
The Celtics are 7-3 against the Bucks in their last 10 regular-season matchups, and they have not lost to Milwaukee at TD Garden since Dec. 21, 2018 (for context, Jaylen Brown led the team in scoring with 21 points in that game... off the bench... behind Semi Ojeleye).
This will be the first matchup between these two teams this season. They will go head-to-head once again this Sunday in Milwaukee, and they will face each other on Apr. 11 (the final game of the regular season) in Boston.
Here is the full injury report for the Celtics and Bucks ahead of Wednesday night's matchup.
11/4 Celtics injury report vs. Bucks

- Chris Cenac Jr. (G League) - QUESTIONABLE
- Dillon Mitchell (G League) - QUETIONABLE
- Payton Pritchard (shoulder) - QUESTIONABLE

Devin Carter has yet to play for the Celtics in the regular season due to mononucleosis, and he has once again been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Carter has only played in one preseason game for Boston since joining the team, recording 17 points on 5-for-9 shooting (including 1-for-3 from deep), five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes. He is on a two-way contract with the Celtics, but there are reasons to believe he could become an important player for them this season.
The Celtics have listed Chris Cenac Jr., Dillon Mitchell, and Amari Williams as questionable for Wednesday's game due to G League assignments.
Payton Pritchard, who has had an up-and-down season so far, has popped up on Boston's injury report due to a right shoulder contusion. He is listed as questionable against the Bucks. In seven games, Pritchard has averaged 13.4 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists on 40.3/31/85.2% shooting splits.
Boston has also added Jayson Tatum to the injury report for rest purposes. He is listed as questionable. Through seven games, the St. Louis native is averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 2.9 turnovers on 41.8/22.9/87% shooting splits.
