Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (illness) is available for Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Holiday was added to the injury report because of a non-COVID-related illness. But he participated and shootaround before the game, so he feels well enough to give it a go. The 33-year-old has played well during the Eastern Conference Finals, averaging 21.5 points, 9.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. He's also shot 58.3% from deep. However, Indiana won't have Tyrese Haliburton for Game 3, meaning Holiday could see less work than usual if the Celtics build a big lead.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) won't play on Saturday night against the Pacers. He sprained his left wrist in Game 2 and didn't return. With that said, Kornet has gotten more minutes with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out of the lineup. However, while that still hasn't made him an adequate DFS option, his absence could open up more minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser, with the C's likely to go small when Al Horford is on the bench.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (illness) is questionable for Saturday's postseason showdown with the Pacers. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) wouldn't play. However, the C's could also be without one of their stars for Game 3 because of a non-COVID-illness. The 33-year-old played well in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, averaging 21.5 points, 9.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. He's also shot 58.3% from behind the arc. With Luke Kornet (wrist) doubtful, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see even more minutes if Holiday doesn't play. But even if he does suit up, he could be limited.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) is unlikely to suit up for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Pacers on Saturday night. Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been sidelined for nearly a month because of a right Soleus strain, so Kornet has been getting more work. However, he injured his wrist in Game 2 on Saturday night and didn't return. With that said, there's a chance Xavier Tillman Sr. and Oshae Brissett could get on the floor more than they have during the playoffs. But there's also the possibility of the Celtics going small, resulting in more minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. Of course, Al Horford will remain starting in the middle.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) is questionable to return to Thursday's playoff meeting against Indiana. Kornet, who has been getting more action without Kristaps Porzingis (calf) in the lineup, lasted only five minutes before exiting with a sprained left wrist. If he doesn't return, he'll finish with two rebounds. While Oshae Brissett could get some work, there's a chance Jayson Tatum could spend time in the middle, although Al Horford should remain the top option at the five.
