Hospital Heat battle Hospital Cs as injuries impact their playoff hopes

In tonight's game against the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics can feel happy about the fact they will likely have Al Horford available, but health is an issue for both teams as they vie for playoff positioning.

The Cs are fighting for the fourth seed and home court advantage against their likely first-round playoff opponent, the Indiana Pacers, who they will face in a likely definitive match this weekend. But before then, they need to defeat a Heat team reeling from injuries and fighting for its postseason life, barely in the eight seed as of this writing with a half-game lead over the Orlando Magic.
