Confirmed Lineup: Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford
Jrue Holiday (illness) — Available
Luke Kornet (wrist) — Available
Kristaps Porzingis (calf) — Injured
Porzingis will remain out for Game 4 when Boston will have a chance to close out the Eastern Conference Finals with a sweep of Indiana. He will miss his 10th consecutive outing, but it's been apparent that the Celtics wouldn't rush him back, and they've managed to win games without him consistently since he went down. Horford should continue to have a heightened role and minutes ceiling in Game 4, and Kornet will receive backup center minutes if he is available.
Confirmed Lineup: Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) — Out
Jalen Smith (illness) — Out
Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) — Out for season
Without Haliburton in the previous outing, Nembhard stepped up in a big way, posting 32 points, nine assists, and four rebounds. Still, the Pacers lost the game and are one loss away from being eliminated from the playoffs. If Haliburton misses his second consecutive outing, Nembhard and Siakam will likely retain their recent high-usage roles. The pair combined to take 39 shots in Game 3, and Siakam has averaged 19.3 field goal attempts per game throughout the series.
