While the Boston Celtics may have lost star big man Kristaps Porzingis to injury in Game 4 of their first round series with the Miami Heat, it is looking very unlikely that Miami will find a way to emerge the victor over Boston given their own rash of injuries. With four heavy-minutes players out for Game 5, the Heat will have their work cut out for them to avoid ending their season at TD Garden on this coming Wednesday (May 1) night.
The Celtics have an interest in wrapping up this series as soon as they can with the Cleveland Cavaliers – Orlando Magic series running long and providing potential cover for KP to heal without leaning too hard into Boston’s other bigs.
If you ask us, the Celtics punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Semifinals on the first day of May.
