The Boston Celtics have not been the perfect picture of health since the All-Star break. They were hoping that that weekend would help their guys rest and prevent some future injuries. Instead, they have had guys miss multiple games due to various injuries.

This much is certain: The Celtics are going to need Holiday at his best come the postseason and that journey through June. Anyone who saw Donovan Mitchell drop 41 points on the Celtics’ heads last Friday — including 26 in the second half — knows that the well-rounded Cavaliers are as legitimate as their 50-10 record suggests.
