    • Participates in shootaround
      Holiday (illness) participated in the Celtics' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Dan Roche of WBZ-TV reports.

      Advice: Holiday is questionable for Monday's matchup due to an illness, but his participation in shootaround is encouraging. He was considered a game-time decision for Saturday's Game 3 before tallying 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in 38 minutes. If he's available Monday, it seems likely that he'll be able to handle a full workload as the Celtics attempt to close out the series. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:00 am
       
    • Thrives in fourth quarter Sunday
      Irving logged 33 points (12-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 42 minutes during Sunday's 116-107 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: There's a reason why people around the NBA call Irving "Mr. Fourth Quarter," and the star floor general has lived up to that nickname in Dallas' last two playoff wins. He scored 14 points in the final frame in Game 2 of the series, and he added 13 points while going 4-for-5 from the field in the final 12 minutes of Sunday's contest. Luka Doncic continues to lead the Mavericks offensively, but Irving is thriving when the team needs him the most and has been an outstanding second option on offense so far in these playoffs.

    • Kyrie Irving scores 33 points in Game 3 triumph
      Kyrie Irving played 42 minutes in Sunday’s 116-107 win over Minnesota, tallying 33 points (12-of-20 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: Dallas has the proven “closers” in this series, while Minnesota doesn’t. Irving scored 14 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter, combining with Luka Doncic to lead the Mavericks to a 3-0 series lead. Teams that have won the first three games of a best-of-7 series are 154-0 all-time, so it may be a matter of “when” the Mavericks reach the finals for the first time since 2011 instead of “if.” Also, Irving is 14-0 in his NBA postseason career in close-out games.

    • Jrue Holiday (illness) questionable for Game 4
      Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Holiday was also questionable for Game 3 before being cleared to play. And he was highly impactful in the Celtics’ comeback victory, making decisive plays on both ends of the floor in the final minute. Look for Holiday to be a game-time decision for Game 4, and it would be surprising if he does not play. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:03 pm
       
    • Deemed questionable
      Holiday (illness) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers,Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Holiday was a late addition to the Celtics' injury report for Game 3 due to sickness but ended up playing 38 minutes in the win. Considering Boston could clinch a spot in the Finals with a win, Holiday should be expected to play through the illness -- assuming his condition hasn't worsened. The veteran point guard is averaging 19.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game during the series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:18 pm
       
    • Clutch effort in fourth quarter
      Holiday totaled 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 win over the Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

      Advice: Holiday was a game-time decision for Saturday's game due to an illness, and he didn't look at his best throughout the game. However, he was clutch in the final two minutes, making a tough and-one that gave the Celtics their first lead of the second half and later making a huge steal against Andrew Nembhard that sealed the win. Holiday is averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game in the series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:29 am
       
    • Jaylen Brown tallies 24 points, full line Saturday
      Jaylen Brown accumulated 24 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

      Advice: Boston now holds a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, as they erased an 18-point deficit on Saturday night. Brown and Jayson Tatum combined to score 60 points on 22-of-41 shooting from the field, and Al Horford chipped in with 23 points of his own. JB7 has proven to be a tough matchup for Indiana, as he’s averaged 30.0 points per game on 52.3% shooting from the field in this series. Brown and the Celtics will look to close out the series on Monday. And based on Boston nearly climbing out of a 0-3 hole in last season’s conference finals, they’re unlikely to take their foot off the gas. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:25 pm
       
    • Jrue Holiday (illness) available for Game 3 Sunday
      Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) is available for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Holiday made it through his pregame workout without issue, so he will play in Game 3. With the Pacers not having Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), the Celtics are well-positioned to strengthen their grip on the series. Boston will have its usual starting five as they look to take a 3-0 series lead. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:54 pm
       
    • Available for Game 3
      Holiday (illness) is available for Saturday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The veteran floor general will likely be in the starting lineup for this game after overcoming an illness, and he is expected to handle his regular workload as the Celtics look to go up 3-0 in the series. Holiday has been extremely productive against the Pacers, accumulating 43 points, 18 assists and 10 rebounds on 16-of-23 shooting from the field across two games Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:50 pm
