The first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs continues with Game 3 in the Eastern Conference between the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic on Friday. The Celtics are currently in a strong position, leading the best-of-seven series 2-0. However their star player, Jayson Tatum, is uncertain for Game 3 due to injury.

This may be the closest game of the series if injuries begin to affect multiple players in the Celtics' top rotation, even considering Boston's depth.

The Boston Celtics listed Jayson Tatum as doubtful for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic due to the bone bruise in his right wrist.
