The Boston Celtics play host to the Miami Heat on Friday night at TD Garden. The former is trying to halt a two-game losing skid that has slid them down a spot in the East. With the standings congested, Boston's moved to fourth in the conference. The Atlanta Hawks, the ninth seed, are just one game behind them.
Fortunately for the Celtics, as they fight to maintain their spot in the standings, they have received welcome news on the health front. Their latest injury report lists Sam Hauser and Josh Minott as available for Friday's clash with a rival.
