INJURY REPORT: Kristaps Porzingis listed again for Pacers game

The Celtics are looking to beat the Pacers again, plus they’ll potentially get healthy. Jrue Holiday (right shoulder impingement) and Kristaps Porzingis (left ankle sprain) are questionable on the injury report ahead of the 6 p.m. Sunday game against the Pacers. Two-way forward Anton Watson is also out with a left adductor strain.

Both Holiday and Porzingis missed the blowout win over the Pacers on Friday at TD Garden. Holiday has sat the last two games with the shoulder issue. Porzingis missed the game after hurting his ankle in the first half against the 76ers on Christmas Day, which forced him to sit the entire second half.

The big question mark is Porzingis, who’s dealt with bumps and bruises since returning to the court in late-November from surgery rehab. Porzingis being questionable for the past two games appears to be a good sign instead of being an automatic out on the injury report. The team is also going to be cautious with their talented big man considering how injury prone he has been throughout his career.

The Celtics dominated the Pacers on Friday despite missing two of their starters. Jaylen Brown was at his best, scoring a season-high 44 points, while Payton Pritchard flirted with his second-ever triple-double. The C’s snapped a two-game losing streak with their 37-point win Friday.

The Pacers were also shorthanded Friday, missing some rotation players, plus they were playing the second game of a back-to-back. So they’ll look to bounce back for Sunday’s game as the Pacers have given Boston some issues in the past. The Pacers will get Andrew Nembhard (knee) back after sitting last game, while Obi Toppin (ankle) is questionable.
