The Boston Celtics will start their 2014-15 season on Saturday as they start Summer League action in Orlando. The Celtics will take on the Miami Heat at 11:00 AM in their first of five games in the Orlando Summer League.

The Celtics will bring four players from last season's roster, Kelly Olynyk, Phil Pressey, Chris Johnson and Chris Babb. They will be joined by the both Celtics draft picks, Marcus Smart and James Young. The roster will be rounded out by bringing 2013 draft pick Colton Iverson, European players O.D. Anosike, Dairis Bertans, Edwin Jackson and rookie free agents Mike Moser, Devin Oliver and Daniel Coursey.

The Celtics next Orlando Summer League game will be July 7 against the Indiana Pacers.

According to Celtics.com the Summer League standings are determined as followed:

Under the format, each team will play five games over the seven-day event, with a championship day being played on the final day of the league. A point system will establish the standings leading up to the final day, with eight points awarded each game based on: four points for winning the game and one point for winning a quarter (in the event of a tied quarter, each team will receive 0.5 points). In the event of ties in seeding heading into championship day, three tiebreakers will be in place: 1) total point differential; 2) total points allowed; 3) coin flip.
