In this story:

On Tuesday night at Fiserv Forum, the Boston Celtics play their final road game this regular season. The C's are 27-13 away from TD Garden in the 2023-24 campaign.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have lost four straight matchups and seven of their last ten. At 47-31, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. are clinging to the second seed in the Eastern Conference standings.

The hosts of Tuesday's tilt are one game ahead of the third-seeded Orlando Magic and the fourth-place New York Knicks. They're 1.5 in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who occupy the fifth spot in the East.

As the Bucks aim to even their regular season series with the Celtics and prevent anyone from gaining ground on them in the standings, they may not have to contend with Kristaps Porzingis.

Boston lists its starting center as questionable on its initial injury report for Tuesday's matchup due to right hamstring injury management.

Al Horford is also questionable for the contest because of a left big toe sprain.

Milwaukee lists Antetokounmpo as uncertain for this clash between the teams atop the East due to left hamstring tendinopathy. Khris Middleton, who's dealing with a right quad contusion, is probable to play.
