Through the first two games of this series, Brooks has shot 4-of-10 from beyond the arc. While that isn’t necessarily great, he’s done enough to keep the Warriors honest thus far. Brooks will need to continue to do so as the series moves to San Francisco, whether Golden State has Jimmy Butler (pelvis) or not. Game 3 is on Saturday night.

Both reserves will miss another game of this series, but neither would likely have been part of the rotation in the postseason. Their continued absences will not have an impact on this series.

The lone Rockets starter to excel in Sunday’s series-opening defeat, Sengun had plenty of help in Game 2. Although the point total decreased, his rebounds and assists were significantly better than in Game 1. With the Warriors using Draymond Green as their starting “center,” Sengun will have a size advantage more often than not. Some nights, that may mean more scoring, but on Wednesday, it was about the rebounds and assists for the young Rockets center. The series shifts to San Francisco, with Game 3 scheduled for Saturday night.

After struggling mightily in his playoff debut on Sunday, Green looked far more comfortable in Game 2. He became the fifth Rockets player in franchise history to score 30 points or more in a playoff game, aged 23 years or younger, and Green also tied the Rockets’ record for three-pointers in a playoff game. While Green can’t be expected to threaten 40 points every night in this series, the Rockets will need a consistently productive version of him to advance. Game 3 is on Saturday in San Francisco.

Brown followed up his 36-point explosion in Game 2 of the series with a subpar game Friday. The 28-year-old small forward had 19 points on 14 shots, but turned the ball over six times. He was -8 in 33 minutes in a two-point loss for the Celtics. Brown continues to deal with a knee issue that has bothered him down the stretch of the regular season. He’ll look to bounce back in Game 4 Sunday.

Brown wasn’t listed on the initial injury report but now has a chance to miss this game. Jayson Tatum (wrist) is once again listed as doubtful, and Jrue Holiday (hamstring) is also questionable, so Boston could be very shorthanded on Friday. Both Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard would be in line to play significant roles if Brown is sidelined.

Williams has scored 20 points or more in all three games thus far, with his consistent production factoring into Oklahoma City holding a 3-0 lead. The status of Ja Morant (hip) for Saturday’s Game 4 will be a key storyline, but the Thunder’s depth has been a primary reason for the top seed’s success. Williams and company have helped pick up the slack for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, whose efficiency has taken a slight hit in this series.
