**BOSTON, MA** – The Boston Celtics are poised to extend their winning streak against the Milwaukee Bucks to three games on Friday night at TD Garden. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Celtics have already defeated the Bucks twice this season, once at home in October and again on the road in November.
However, the team faces some injury uncertainty heading into the crucial matchup. Star forward Jayson Tatum (right patella), center Kristaps Porzingis (injury management), and veteran Al Horford (left big toe sprain) are all listed as questionable. Their availability will be a key factor in determining the outcome of Friday’s game. Despite the injury concerns, the Celtics are expected to field a near-full-strength lineup. The team’s momentum is high following their Game 1 NBA Finals victory over the Dallas Mavericks, a game highlighted by a powerful dunk from Porzingis that drew congratulations from Tatum.
