Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to play Game 1 for Celtics
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is expected to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
What It Means
According to Charania, Porzingis is ready to return after completing multiple scrimmages in recent days. He hasn't played since April 29, so the Celtics could limit Porzingis' minutes in his first game back.
KP averaged 30.3 minutes and 34.0 FanDuel points across three healthy playoff games for the Celtics. numberFire's models currently project him for 29.2 minutes and 33.8 FanDuel points in Game 1 on Thursday.
