On Wednesday evening, the Boston Celtics will be in Texas to face off against the Dallas Mavericks for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

For the game, Kristaps Porzingis is listed as questionable, so the Celtics could be without one of their best players.

Porzingis is in his first year playing for Boston and has been an excellent fit next to superstars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

The 2018 NBA All-Star finished the regular season with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.

The health of Porzingis will be a major factor in the rest of the series.

That said, the Celtics have a commanding 2-0 lead after winning Game 2 by a score of 105-98.
