Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward is available to play in Game 3 against the Miami Heat on Saturday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
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.
