He is playing and that was a key reason I bet the Celtics -10 for a lot of dough! good luck on your plays tonight, Jake

even if he does play, hes had 1 practice he isnt going to come out and be paul pierce .... this game is a no play on sides imo .... maybe take the under at 184 if anything ....

Boston Celtics @celtics
Doc: "Paul is in. I will start him. He's had one practice three weeks ago. We'll go by eyesight and build him up. Don't know what % he is."

from rotoworld:

Paul Pierce (heel) has been cleared to return and will start for the Celtics on Friday night vs. the Pistons.

Pierce missed the first three games of the season for Boston, but is ready to go and will look to provide a spark for the 0-3 Boston Celtics tonight vs. Detroit. You can move Sasha Pavlovic and Marquis Daniels back to your fantasy benches and, if The Truth makes it through tonight's game with no setbacks, to your league's waiver wire.
