The Boston Celtics lately obtained some horrible information.
Regardless that Kristaps Porzingis downplayed his damage, it now looks as if he’s in critical hazard of lacking Recreation 3 on the very least.
And whereas the Celtics have gone 30-5 in 35 video games with out the Latvian massive man, the timing of this damage couldn’t be any worse.
In accordance with New Orleans Pelicans star CJ McCollum, it could possibly be a catalyst and the rationale why the Dallas Mavericks get the win tonight.
Speaking on ESPN’s “Get Up,” the combo guard argued that Porzingis not being on the market opens up the paint for the Mavs, including that they need to look to assault and put on Al Horford out.

Per McCollum, Kyrie Irving must be very aggressive in his drives to benefit from Porzingis’ absence.
After all, individuals proceed to attend for the second Horford loses a step on protection and begins wanting his age, and that hasn’t been the case up to now, so banking all hope on that may not be the wisest choice.
Then once more, not having Porzingis looming across the rim on protection will permit the Mavericks to feed their athletic bigs with some lobs, which is one thing they had been very profitable at vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder.
The Mavericks have their backs towards the wall and should be at their greatest to get again on this sequence, and whereas the Celtics clearly know methods to win with out Porzingis, his potential absence could possibly be enormous.
