Game 4: Celtics at Bucks
The Celtics will be without John Henson for the second game in a row on Sunday. Their starting center has been dealing with a back injury.
Marcus Morris was fined $15,000 for his comments about the officiating in Game 3. The Celtics will need to overcome their officiating concerns if they want to go back to Boston up 3-1.
The Bucks got huge contributions from their role players in Game 3. They'll need a big performance like that again if they're going to tie the series up in Game 4. Full story.
Game 4: Warriors at Spurs
The Spurs' Gregg Popovich will reportedly miss Gamae 4 following the death of his wife, Erin. Ettore Messina will coach in his place. Full story.
Stephen Curry is making progress from his MCL injury, but he could still miss the beginning of the second round. He'll be evaluated again in one week.
Game 4: Raptors at Wizards
Fred VanVleet (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Game 4. He briefly played in Game 2 of this series, but the injury quickly forced him back to the bench.
Game 4: Cavaliers at Pacers
Tyronn Lue is going to try and get Tristan Thompson on the floor during Game 4. So far he hasn't played any meaningful minutes in this series. Via ESPN:
I can trust him," Lue said of Thompson. "I think Tristan can also get us extra possessions offensive rebounding. He brings toughness and that's been a problem last couple games. I think he brings toughness, rebounding, defense."
George Hill is questionable for Game 4 with back spasms. The Cavs haven't been very healthy this season, but losing their starting point guard at such a critical point of the series would be horrible for them.
