Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

Riding a four-game winning streak, they have pulled themselves up to fifth place in the Eastern Conference, one game out of homecourt advantage in Round 1. With Evan Fournier likely to return from health and safety protocols soon, Boston will have another big scorer.
