Celtics-Sixers (Celtics Lead 3-0)

Marcus Smart hasn’t played as well on the road during the playoffs. Maybe heading to the bench will change things for him as he’ll have a bit more freedom not having to share as much time with Terry Rozier. If nothing else, he’s a guy that gets minutes and usage. The same goes for Marcus Morris, who had his best road game of the playoffs in Game 3.

Role players play better at home and that was the case for Ersan Ilyasova and Marco Belinelli in Game 3. Those are two guys with a decent ceiling who were able to get shots to fall in Game 3. There’s a good chance they’ll get a lot of the same looks and feel comfortable in Game 4.

Raptors-Cavaliers (Cavaliers Lead 3-0)

Serge Ibaka, who got shifted to the bench in Game 3, came alive on Saturday. His scoring still isn’t there, but he was rebounding and became the rim protector that we always know he can be.

Everyone worth considering on the Cavaliers was already covered.
