The Boston Celtics are facing a challenging situation in the Eastern Conference semifinals, trailing the New York Knicks 3-1 after losing Jayson Tatum to a ruptured right Achilles tendon. However, Sam Hauser has been upgraded to probable for Game 5, having missed the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. His return could provide a much-needed boost, as Hauser is an effective outside shooter, shooting 41.6 percent from 3-point range during the regular season, which is crucial given the Celtics’ struggles from beyond the arc in this series.
