After missing last night's loss to the Bobcats, both Ray Allen and Glen Davis returned to the practice floor Thursday, and they expect to return to the lineup Friday night when the Celtics visit the New Jersey Nets. Scot Pollard didn't practice as he's been having issues with his left ankle, the same one he sprained before training camp.

"I feel significantly better. It's hard to say, not being in a game situation, but at practice I felt pretty good," Allen said, noting that the numbness he experienced in his fingers was about 80% gone and that he'd slept better last night than he had in the last two days. "It's a day-to-day thing."

As for the practice, Doc Rivers told reporters that the first half of the session was about as sloppy as last night's game, indicating that there may have been some carry-over from Wednesday night's loss to the Bobcats.
