Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Retreats to bench
Rotowire
Brissett will come off the bench for Monday's game against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Rotowire
Brissett tallied seven points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 win over Washington.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Seven boards in win
Rotowire
Brissett racked up three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 121-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
After collecting three straight DNP-Coach's Decisions, Brissett received 19 minutes of run on a night where the Celtics were missing Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Jrue Holiday (knee). The forward's high-energy motor was on display as he worked the glass. Four of his seven boards were on the offensive end, where Brissett's active hands shine. Boston's addition of Xavier Tillman has made for a confusing rotation for the backup bigs. The team will have many opportunities to experiment with Brissett, Tillman, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta as it rests the Unicorn and veteran Al Horford before a playoff run.
