What It Means:

Hayward is officially available for the first time in over four weeks since injuring his ankle. He will come off the bench in his first game back and be on a "minutes monitoring," according to Brad Stevens. It's not clear exactly what that means in terms of a number, but our models expect him to play 20.5 minutes on Saturday as the Celtics look to avoid going down three games in the series.

Hayward's Game 3 projection includes 10.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 20.3 FanDuel points.
