Doc Rivers believes the time in the season is right to shorten his bench.

Marquis Daniels, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore will have their minutes reduced. 

“But I like our rotation, I tightened it on purpose," said Rivers. "I told our coaches after the Oklahoma City game, ‘When we come back, there’s nine guys. And that’ll be it.’ Every once in a while when we can go 10 we will, but that 10th guy right now is going to be a short-minute guy, whoever it is. And I like what we’re doing.’’
