The Celtics revealed that they would be without Hauser for the second straight game against Miami, with Horford’s status in doubt as of now. If Horford is unable to play, it will continue to put additional stress on their interior defense. Horford’s veteran presence was missed during Game 1 when the Celtics fell to Miami after a dominant third quarter led by Jimmy Butler.
