Mazzulla said before the game that Holiday and Porzingis are getting better every day, but wouldn’t provide specific details on their timetable or the seriousness of their shoulder and ankle ailments, respectively. Holiday missed his third straight game and sixth overall. Porzingis, ruled out earlier in the afternoon than most players labeled questionable are, sat out a second straight night following his sprain on Christmas. I’m told their injuries aren’t considered serious.

Goes without saying that the Celtics need Holiday and Porzingis on the court to be anywhere near the team’s defensive ceiling – 7:23 PM

Carlisle on KP: “Tough guy … when you have a 7-4 body like that, it’s gonna present some challenges. Especially with the dynamic way that he plays, but I’ll tell you this, he’s a competitor and a total team guy … I was very surprised when he played in the deciding game last – 4:38 PM

Early scratch for Porzingis today. Usually questionable designations go close to game time. – 2:33 PM

Joe Mazzulla on Jrue Holiday’s health pregame. Tonight’s his 5th absence this season and second in a row: “I don’t think it’s impacted him too much and hope to get him back soon.”

As expected, Pacers forward Obi Toppin (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for tonight in Boston. Holiday and Porzingis are questionable.
Toppin rarely misses games — and he’s posting career-high numbers.
