Carter had 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 95-93 victory over the Celtics in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Carter recorded his first double-double of the series, albeit a modest one. Despite having nailed down the starting center position, Carter has been far from dominant. Through the first three games, Carter is averaging 10.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game.

Porzingis registered seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 95-93 loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Porzingis struggled again Friday, turning in another poor performance. Despite a double-double in Game 2, Porzingis has been largely underwhelming thus far, especially on the offensive end. Boston still leads the series 2-1, but will hope for an improved performance from Porzingis when the two teams meet again Sunday.

Landale (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors.

Landale was able to go through drills during Friday's practice, though he's still set to miss his third straight outing due to a right knee contusion. His next chance to suit up will come in Game 4 against the Warriors on Monday.

Landale (knee) was seen going through drills and moving well but is expected to remain out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Landale has missed the first two games of the playoffs and is expected to remain out Saturday due to a right knee injury. However, Landale's participation in drills could indicate that he is nearing a return to action.

The rookie big man is averaging 5.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor across 25.3 minutes per game during the first round.

The big man has also racked up at least eight rebounds in each of his last two appearances, though he failed to record a block for the first time this series Thursday.
