They have to do it again tonight or risk being a stunning first-round upset two days later in the noisy building of the young Chicago Bulls.

An MRI Monday confirmed that Ben Gordon had a strained left hamstring and is listed as day-to-day, though Gordon said Sunday he thought he'd play.

Last year Boston was tied 2-2 in its series with Atlanta, Cleveland, and Detroit, going on to beat the Hawks and Cavaliers in seven games and the Pistons in six. They won the NBA title in six games over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now the 8-point favored Celtics will be playing before friendly fans. They feel they're in good enough shape to recover from Sunday's tiring effort. They also know they're just two overtime losses from having swept the best-of-seven series. Get your NBA playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now.
