Gordon Hayward (knee) officially sidelined for Celtics on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (right knee contusion) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Hayward got his knee rolled up just before halftime of Tuesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. It appears to be a day-to-day issue, but Hayward is still going to be held out of the second leg of the back-to-back. He will be joined by Kemba Walker (knee, rest) and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) on the sidelines. Marcus Smart may be facing a suspension, so Jayson Tatum (illness, probable) will likely do the heavy-lifting on offense for Boston after sitting out Tuesday. Javonte Green (ankle, probable) and Grant Williams are candidates to start.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics-Cavaliers game has the second-lowest over/under (216.5 points) on Wednesday's nine-game slate.
