The Boston Celtics are sticking with Al Horford as their starting center for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Saturday, even though Kristaps Porzingis is available to play. Porzingis has been fighting an illness and was limited in the Celtics' two losses to the New York Knicks in Boston.

In a bit of a shocking development, the Boston Celtics lost each of their first two games of their series against the New York Knicks. The reigning champions are down 0-2 as the series heads to New York, and Game 3 is now a must-win for them as they look to avoid a 0-3 series deficit.

Boston Celtics veteran big man Al Horford said the team was impacted by the loss of Kristaps Porzingis in Game 1 against Knicks.
