Paolo is over this line in 8/L11, which includes 23 vs BOS. Celtics used Jaylen on him mostly, and Paolo had his way. But now BOS is without Horford, Porzingis and Kornet - their rim protection should be pretty poor. Even with Fultz potentially back (he’d have a much tougher matchup), I just don’t see much resistance for Paolo to get to the bucket.
