Drew also told the AJC's Michael Cunningham that he had not settled on a starting lineup for tonight's game. The Celtics are likely to start Kevin Garnett at center and Drew has the option of going with Jason Collins in the pivot or going small by inserting either Marvin Williams or Ivan Johnson into the starting lineup.
