Meanwhile, Delon Wright is expected to be back in action after missing Game 3 for personal reasons. However, Terry Rozier will be out due to a neck spasm.
Game 4 is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Kaseya Center. The Celtics will be looking to build on their Game 3 success and maintain their lead in the series, while the Heat will be fighting hard to keep up and potentially turn things around in their favor.
