BOSTON CELTICS

C: Al Horford — first game against Cleveland was in Jan. 2008, Tyronn Lue fed Horford the ball a few times in this outing, Acie Law was there, Lorenzen Wright, Shelden Williams, plenty of names. Two fouls in 66 minutes against Cleveland in the 2023-24 regular season, 7-15 from the floor, zero starts.
F: Jayson Tatum — spent most of the Heat series at the line, this must continue. Turned it over nine times and pulled 51 rebounds in the five-game series. Clunked 1-9 in the fourth quarter during Boston’s one-point loss in Cleveland on March 5, Celtics outscored 34-17 in the period.
