Doc Rivers said after Wednesday’s game that the plan was to rest Chris Paul, J.J. Redick and DeAndre Jordan against the Jazz on Friday, but that it might depend on the health of other players.

Austin Rivers (ankle) and Wesley Johnson (foot) did not play in that game and Jamal Crawford was given the night off for rest. Jeff Green bruised his right knee and did not finish the game but was laughing on the bench. This sounds like these guys will be the guys that get swapped in so to speak, and the starting vets are the ones that will be given the night off if everybody’s health cooperates. We’ll keep you updated as soon as news hits. Blake Griffin (rest) did not travel with the team and he is already ruled out.
