Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (wrist) carries a doubtful tag on the injury report for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Orlando Magic. Tatum injured his right wrist in Sunday's Game 1 win and has been labeled day-to-day. The doubtful designation suggests it is unlikely he will play on Wednesday night. Boston will likely use Al Horford as Tatum's replacement in the starting lineup, while Sam Hauser is also an option. At the same time, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis will become the team's primary scoring options, although the latter struggled in the series opener, finishing with just five points on 1-for-8 shooting.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic scored a game-high 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 94-85 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Scoring came hard for most players on the night, but Doncic made it back-to-back 30-point efforts for himself in the series, hitting 2-for-8 from downtown and 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. He nearly had a triple-double, finishing with 12 rebounds and nine assists. It seems the Timberwolves players will have nightmares of Doncic for the second consecutive year, as he has averaged 34.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists through the first two games of the series.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (knee) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He also missed Game 1 of the matchup on Sunday due to a right knee contusion. Houston frequently employed a two-center lineup during the series opener, meaning Landale could be a valuable addition to the rotation. However, even when healthy, the Australian big man has had a limited impact this season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.9 minutes. Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams are set for another busy night on Wednesday. Sengun led the Rockets in scoring on Sunday with 26 points, while Adams grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) will remain sidelined for Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old is nursing an ankle injury, which took him out of action with two games to go in the regular season. Tate is a versatile player who can contribute to his team in several areas, but he has not seen much playing time this term. During the regular season, Tate averaged 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.3 minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo led all players with 34 points and 18 rebounds on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers, but still had to leave the court on the losing side as the Bucks were defeated 123-115. Milwaukee had Damian Lillard back in the lineup, but he contributed only 14 points on 4-for-13 shooting, and the team continued to rely heavily on Antetokounmpo on the offensive end. He finished with 14-for-20 shooting from the field and went 6-for-10 with his free throws. Antetokounmpo also had seven assists and one block in the game. The Bucks are now 2-0 down in the first-round series, despite Antetokounmpo averaging 35.0 points and 15.0 rebounds. He will need more support in the upcoming home games.
