As the Eastern Conference Semifinals begin, the Celtics head into Game 1 with high expectations but face significant unpredictability due to injuries to key players Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown. After a strong performance against the Knicks during the regular season, the Celtics must now adapt to their reshaped roster. Both players seem likely to participate, according to coach Joe Mazzulla’s affirmation of Holiday's practice participation and Brown's optimistic outlook. Such presence could pivotal in maintaining their defense against Jalen Brunson's threat for the Knicks.
With both Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown potentially ready for Game 1, the Celtics' defense may find its strength against a formidable Knicks lineup.
Head coach Joe Mazzulla stated that Holiday's full participation in practice indicates a positive trend, though his status remains day-to-day due to a hamstring strain.
