Olynyk, the hero of Game 7 in the Celtics’ second round win over the Washington Wizards, will start in place of Amir Johnson, who suffered a sprained right shoulder in Game 3 on Sunday,
The Celtics are not sure of Johnson’s availability for Tuesday night’s game. Johnson has averaged 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game in 13 playoff appearances.
