Robert Williams III In The Lineup On Sunday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Miami Heat. With the winner of this one advancing to the NBA Finals, it was unlikely the big man would miss this one. However, he hasn't been the most consistent as of late, so DFS managers shouldn't be too eager to get […]

Marcus Smart Available For Game 7

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is available for Sunday's Eastern Conference Finals finale against the Miami Heat. Smart has a sprained right ankle. However, he logged 40 minutes of work on Friday night in Game 6, so he should be good for a full workload in Game 7. While Smart has recently struggled on […]
