The Celtics grabbed a 1-0 series lead with a 103-86 win in their playoff opener over the Magic, but Boston will likely be without their superstar player, Jayson Tatum, for this Game Two matchup.
Jaylen Brown will have to step up if Tatum is forced to miss time. Brown becomes the lone All-NBA caliber player on the Celtics roster when Tatum is unavailable, and he is fully capable of taking over this game and claiming a 2-0 series lead for his team. Brown is the reigning Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP, who is averaging over 22 points per game this season.
Paolo Banchero is coming off a massive performance in Game One in which he scored 36 points, shooting 4-7 from three-point range. Franz Wagner also had 23 in the loss, but the rest of the team only combined to score 27 points. The role players for Orlando need to improve if they want to have any chance of advancing.
This is a great NBA matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
