The Boston Celtics were riding high after a dominant first-round playoff win over the Orlando Magic, clinching the series four games to one. With momentum and championship aspirations on their side, fans expected a strong showing in the second round.

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla gave injury updates on both Kristaps Porzingis and Sam Hauser, two players who both left Monday night's Game 1 conference semifinals series vs. the New York Knicks early.

On Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the Game 1 loss, Mazzulla gave a positive update on both Porzingis and Hauser, commenting that they will be listed as day-to-day. The third-year coach also added that the Latvian center "felt a little better today," per The Athletic's Jay King.
