With Jayson Tatum (wrist) unavailable, Horford was inserted into the Celtics’ starting lineup for Game 2. The veteran big was just 1-of-4 from beyond the arc, but he provided solid production in the rebound and assist categories. Boston also received solid contributions from Payton Pritchard, who added 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers in 32 minutes off the bench. If Tatum remains out for Friday’s Game 3, expect Horford and Pritchard to shoulder heavier workloads again.

Brown has been listed as questionable for a third straight game. He was able to suit up for the first two. After scoring 21 points in Game 4 on Sunday, expect Brown to once again be a reliable scoring option on Tuesday. If he isn’t able to play, Sam Hauser or Payton Pritchard would likely move into the starting lineup.

This will be the third straight game that Holiday has missed with this hamstring issue. With a chance to close this series out at home, Al Horford will remain in the starting unit once again.

Brown was inefficient from the floor in Sunday’s win, but a big night on the boards and great production from the free-throw line led him to a double-double. Brown’s double-double was in addition to Jayson Tatum’s, who finished with 37 points and 14 rebounds. The Celtics’ dynamic duo will aim for repeat performances on Tuesday with hopes of closing out the Magic in Game 5.

What started off as a disappointing season for Adebayo eventually turned into a strong one for him, but it wasn’t enough to change Miami’s fortunes in the postseason. Nothing changes for him entering next season. He’s still the franchise cornerstone, along with Tyler Herro. Adebayo’s production improved after the Jimmy Butler trade, which will hopefully translate into a big 2025-26 season for him, though it may depend on what moves the Heat make this season. Regardless, Adebayo should at least be considered a top-50 player entering next season and has the potential for more.

Turner thoroughly outplayed Bucks center Brook Lopez in Game 4, rebounding from a 1-of-9 effort in Indiana’s Game 3 loss on Friday. Impactful on both ends of the floor, Turner’s production was one reason why the Pacers head back home with a 3-1 series lead. Game 5 is on Tuesday, and teams that hold a 3-1 lead have won 95.5 percent of the series in NBA playoff history.

KAT made the most important bucket of the night from long distance to give the Knicks a 94-93 lead in the fourth quarter. The star big man has bounced back in a big way after scoring just 10 points in Game 2. He’s on fire from beyond the arc, hitting nine of his last 14 attempts over the past two games, and will look to continue stretching the floor with his sharpshooting in Game 5.
