Game 3 between the Celtics and Cavaliers will tip off at 8:30 EST at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Cleveland evened this Eastern Conference Semifinals series at one with a 118-94 road win at TD Garden.
Kristaps Porzingis remains the only player on the injury report with his right soleus strain, as they go on the road for Game 3 of their series with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Porzingis, now set to miss his fourth consecutive contest, seemed to finally be missed in the Cavs’ 118-94 rout of the Celtics Thursday night with the series now tied 1-1. Cleveland owned Boston on the boards by a dozen, and the Celtics’ premier post-presence was unavailable to help alter the game’s momentum and plays at the rim. The team was 8-35 from three, with the starters going 0-13 in the second half.
The Celtics will need to adjust in Game 3 on the road and change things up like they did following their last loss in similar style, falling in Game 2 at home against Miami in Round 1 before winning four straight. They also might have to deal with Cavaliers starting center Jarrett Allen. The former All-Star center, who hasn't played since Game 4 of Cleveland's first-round series against the Orlando Magic due to a fractured rib, and Dean Wade are listed as questionable ahead of Game 3.Shooting Struggles Not Preventing Jayson Tatum from Positive Impact: 'They'll Fall'Jaylen Brown Leads Celtics to Tone-Setting Win in Game 1 vs.
