BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics will look to pick up where they left off with another convincing win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday at TD Garden. They may have to play Game 2 of the first-round series without their superstar. Jayson Tatum is officially listed as doubtful to play due to the wrist injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Game 1. That means Boston will again have to lean on its supporting cast in Wednesday's matchup.

It takes a lot to make Al Horford agitated. So, when the Boston Celtics veteran called out Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a hard foul that injured Jayson Tatum's wrist -- "There was something extra," Horford said of the play -- eyebrows were raised. The Magic, it appears, couldn't care less. "That stuff really means nothing to me," Orlando guard Cole Anthony said Wednesday ahead of Game 2 at TD Garden when asked about Horford's comments, via Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

The New England Patriots could keep the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and address a critical need at offensive tackle by taking LSU's Will Campbell or Missouri's Armand Membou. But you could argue neither player -- or any player outside blue-chip prospects Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter -- is No. 4 pick material, which is why a trade down in the first round might be an ideal situation for New England.
