Ryan Wolstat: Wol-stat of the day: RJ Barrett and A.J. Lawson are the fifth and sixth Canadians to play for the Raptors in the post-season. Joining Cory Joseph, Chris Boucher, Khem Birch and Dalano Banton.

Jake Fischer: The Knicks are still open to my understanding in finding front court depth. They got their backup guard in Jose Alvarado. Could they find a nice young center there? We'll see. I mean, I think one of the more intriguing big men on the buyout market right now is Chris Boucher. He'll have some interest as a vet minimum guy. He might be the best shooting big man available you can add. George Niang will be available. He needs to get healthy, but George Niang is going to be someone who can provide some front court shooting help.

Michael Scotto: The Utah Jazz plan to waive Chris Boucher, a league source told @hoopshype. Boucher will have the opportunity to sign with a playoff team and is expected to draw interest. He’s averaged 8.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in his nine-year NBA career.

Yossi Gozlan: This leaves the Celtics just $3.6 million above the luxury tax line. They're on the cusp of getting under it entirely. They could trade 3 additional minimum salaried players for nothing and have enough space below the tax line to backfill the roster without exceeding it later.

Shams Charania: The Boston Celtics are trading Chris Boucher to the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN.

Keith Smith: The Celtics downgraded Jaylen Brown to OUT tonight at the Houston Rockets due to left hamstring tightness and right knee soreness. Sam Hauser is also OUT due to right thumb strain. Chris Boucher is OUT due to personal reasons. Reminder: Nikola Vucevic trade is not official yet.

Teams have probed the Pelicans on the availability of Trey Murphy III, but New Orleans’s asking price has been high. Chicago has fielded calls on Coby White, sources say. Boston could off-load Chris Boucher in a salary dump.
