Kemba Walker won't be in the lineup Wednesday, as the Celtics face the Cleveland Cavaliers on a second night of a back-to-back.
Walker, who finished with 16 points and five assists in the the team's 117-109 loss to the Jazz at home, played 34 minutes Tuesday night.
The Celtics will head back to TD Garden for a two-game homestand beginning on Friday before heading out on the road next week. Walker has played well after having at least two days off (20.1 points on 42.7% shooting), versus one-day of rest (17.6 points on 37.2% from the field).
As far as back-to-back goes, the Celtics have six of those remaining for the rest of the regular season, including Magic-Grizzlies and Bucks-Thunder next week on the road -- Boston is scheduled to play five-games in seven days.
