We should use Brissett in the ECF, for his tough rebounding if nothing else....Knicks will clobber us on the boards and he would love to play against his former team in Indiana.Fresh body too....he could be used against that annoying Josh Hart.
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to remain sidelined for Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference finals next week, but there's optimism he'll be able to return sometime in the series -- barring any setbacks, sources told ESPN on Friday.Porzingis has been making progress in his recovery from a soleus strain of his right calf, ramping up his on-court activity for an anticipated return in the conference finals, but still needs more time for a return to play, sources said.

I always felt mid-ECF was the realistic timeline and Game 3 is next Saturday, Game 4 Monday and Game 5 Wednesday. Makes sense to target around that week. But I also think how we start the series will factor in. Like if we go up 2-0 or dare I say, 3-0, they could simply decide to shelve KP until the Finals. No need to truly rush him back. Now if we're down 2-1/3-1 or even tied 2-2, we might want to bring him back.
If we can't beat NY (who have Randle, OG, Robinson, Bogdanovic, and now maybe Hart) or Indiana without KP we don't deserve to advance. Simple as that.
