The Boston Celtics didn’t get off to the start they wanted in their Eastern Conference semi-finals series against the New York Knicks. Not only did they lose the game, they also set a mortifying record against the Knicks. So, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will be looking for redemption in Game 2.

But given both of their injury struggles lately, will they be healthy enough to enact their revenge on the Knicks? Let’s have a look at the Celtics’ injury report to confirm the star duo’s status ahead of the next game in their series against ‘The Big Apple’.

Boston Celtics Injury Report – Will Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown play in Game 2 tonight?

Jayson Tatum suffered a bone bruise in Game 1 against the Orlando Magic in the first round of the Playoffs. He missed the next game as a consequence. And even though he played an incredible series against the Magic, concerns about his health lingered. Similarly, there are also worries around Jaylen Brown and his knee. He’s been a constant presence on the Celtics’ injury report this season.

So, it will please you, Celtics fan,s to know that you can stop worrying. Neither Jaylen Brown nor Jayson Tatum have made their ways on to the Celtics’ injury report. The star duo is AVAILABLE to play in Game 2 against the Knicks.

But that doesn’t mean Boston is out of the weeds when it comes to injuries to their stars.

Kristaps Porzingis, who missed Game 1 against the Knicks due to a returning illness, is PROBABLE to appear in Game 2. Celtics HC Joe Mazzulla revealed that Kristaps is battling an illness that he’d been dealing with earlier in the season as well. His appearance in this upcoming game will ultimately depend on how he’s recovered since then.

Moving on, Sam Hauser is the final player on the injury report for the Boston Celtics. He is DOUBTFUL to appear in Game 2 after spraining his right ankle. But that’s it for the Celtics’ injuries. They’re doing pretty well, all things considered. But can they get their revenge on the Knicks?

Can the Boston Celtics avenge their Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks?

The short answer is — yes, the Celtics can get it done. But you may be wondering how. Even that answer is quite straightforward. The Celtics need to be efficient in this game. In the last game, the Celtics lived and died by the 3-pointer. They managed to establish a convincing 20-point lead. However, one Playoff record for three-pointers missed in a single game later, the reigning champions had lost.

Yes, the Boston Celtics missed 45 three-point attempts against the Knicks. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown missed nearly half of those. So it’s clear that Boston’s key to victory in this game is their star duo not misfiring as much as they did in the first game.

After all, they were winning for a large portion of that game. So if they can make some tweaks to their game and simply shoot the ball from better positions, the Celtics may have this one in the bag. But let us know what you think. Can the Celtics tie up the series? Or will the Knicks get a step closer to sweeping the reigning NBA champs?
