Kelly Olynyk will start for Boston in Game 4
The Boston Celtics are starting Kelly Olynyk in place of Amir Johnson in Game 4 of their series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
After totaling just two points in Games 1 and 2, Olynyk found success with Isaiah Thomas sidelined, scoring 15 points in 23 minutes in Game 3. Expect the Celtics to lean on the big man to stretch the floor on Tuesday while seeing possibly his most extensive minutes of the postseason. Jonas Jerebko will back up Olynyk as Boston tries to even up the series.
numberFire's algorithms projected Olynyk for 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 19.8 minutes before word of the starting lineup change was announced.
