The Boston Celtics are gearing up to take on the Mavericks in Dallas with their talented roster.
In a surprising turn of events, Kristaps Porzingis will be back on the court for the Celtics in Game 4 after sitting out Game 3 due to an ankle injury from Game 2. The announcement was made just 90 minutes before tip-off on Friday morning.
Despite a leg injury in Game 2, Porzingis has been given the green light to play after being sidelined for Game 3. This is a significant boost for the Celtics who are eyeing a championship sweep.
In Game 3, the Celtics managed to secure a victory over the Mavericks with standout performances from Jaylen Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Tatum scored 31 points, along with five rebounds and six assists, while Brown added 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Even with Kyrie’s 35-point game, the Celtics were able to hold off the Mavericks. Luka Doncic, the star player for the Mavericks, fouled out early in the game, which impacted their performance.
Porzingis played a vital role in the first two games of the series, showcasing impressive performances. In Game 1, he scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds coming off the bench. In Game 2, he contributed 12 points and four rebounds.
The game is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. with ABC broadcasting. The Mavericks need to make history to win the 2024 title, as no team has ever overcome a 0-3 deficit in NBA postseason history. Their focus is on extending the series to force a Game 5 in Boston.
It’s an exciting matchup for basketball fans as the Celtics and Mavericks battle it out for a spot in the Finals!
