After coming to the Celtics in a blockbuster trade last June that saw franchise icon Marcus Smart head out of town, Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game this season. He has shot a career-best 51.6% overall while hitting 37.5% of his 3-pointers on more than five attempts per game.

As far as Porzingis' availability for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC), Mazzulla -- typically tight-lipped about injuries -- didn't give anything away.
