Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis, who sat out the final 2 1/2 quarters of his team’s Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks with an illness, was upgraded from probable to available ahead of Game 2 on Wednesday.

The Celtics' offense struggled in his absence, particularly from beyond the arc, where they set a playoff record by missing 45 of 60 three-point attempts. The lack of interior scoring and defensive rim protection highlighted the void left by Porzingis.
