Expected to suit up Wednesday

Porzingis played 13 minutes in the first half of Monday's overtime loss in Game 1, though he didn't return after halftime due to a non-COVID illness. However, the star big man will likely suit up as the Celtics attempt to even the series at 1-1 in Boston. Porzingis didn't miss a game during the club's 4-1 first-round series win over the Magic, during which he averaged 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks across 27.4 minutes per game.

Doubtful for Game 2

Hauser suffered a sprained right ankle in the Game 1 loss to New York, making his status for Wednesday's game uncertain. If the 26-year-old forward cannot play, Boston will likely turn to Baylor Scheierman to help pick up the slack off the bench.

Double-doubles in loss

White recorded a double-double for the first time during these NBA playoffs, making his presence felt in the scoring column as well as on the glass. The defensive-minded guard has been a solid contributor for the defending NBA champions during the postseason, averaging 17.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 46.9 percent from the floor and 34.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Scores 23 points in loss

Brown had a brutal shooting performance, but it wasn't just him -- the Celtics shot a combined 15-of-60 from beyond the arc. "In those moments, when the other team has momentum, we can't just fire up threes," Brown said, as relayed by Jay King of The Athletic. With the Celtics trailing 1-0, Game 2 is set for Wednesday in Boston.

Plays 39 minutes in return

After missing the final three games of the Celtics' first-round series victory over the Magic due to a strained right hamstring, Holiday returned to action for the start of the second round and took on a robust workload. He's been effective in three postseason appearances to date, averaging 12.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 36.0 minutes.
