Starting Lineups: April 23 - Mirotic and Lee out, Holiday expected to play

Day six of the postseason see a trio of underdogs return home in hopes of avoiding 3-0 deficits.

The Boston Celtics open the evening with Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics have managed to keep things close in both Games 1 and 2, but have lacked the finishing quality to close out LeBron James and company.

The second game sees the Milwaukee Bucks continue their grit-and-grind series against the Chicago Bulls. The Bucks have found an answer on defense to everyone except for Jimmy Butler, who dropped 31 points to lead the Bulls to victory in Game 2.

However, the Bulls will be without sharpshooter Nikola Mirotic, who sustained quad and knee injuries during a scuffle in Game 3. Mirotic leaves the Bulls light on shooting in their frontcourt, which takes away the Bulls' ability to stretch the floor.

In the late game, the New Orleans Pelicans will try for a third time to take a game from the Golden State Warriors. The Pelicans have come close twice thanks to strong performances by Anthony Davis, but the Warriors' combination of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have proven to be too much to handle.

A healthy Jrue Holiday would go a long way in that regard, but Holiday's status remains uncertain for Game 3 as he's day-to-day with soreness in his right leg.
