Which supporting cast will deliver?
Even though this clash between the Warriors and Celtics will revolve around the star power, the supporting casts will also play a big factor in the outcome.
For the Celtics, they’re going to need Marcus Smart, Grant Williams, Robert Williams, and/or Derrick White to step up in a big way throughout this series. You could probably throw in Al Horford, especially if he has to take a bigger role if Rob Williams isn’t 100 percent healthy.
For the Warriors, this series could hinge on the impact that Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole will be able to have.
We should be able to get a sense early on regarding both these fronts. With how the playoffs have gone, however, this should set up for an interesting battle between both supporting casts.
