The Boston Celtics will fight to keep their season alive against the Milwaukee Bucks. They will host Game 7 as they look to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics received a big boost ahead of the decisive NBA playoff contest in the form of Robert Williams.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Williams will be active against the Bucks. He missed the previous two games due to knee soreness and will now return to help the Celtics slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo. Williams was previously listed as questionable to play:

Williams' knee soreness stemmed from the meniscus surgery he recently returned from. Adding the defensive stalwart back into their lineup will be huge for Boston. After two consecutive 40-point games from Antetokounmpo, Williams' size and mobility will make The Greek Freak work even harder for his points. He also gives the Celtics a strong lob option to go to on offense.

Williams is avearging just 6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in 20.2 minutes in this year's NBA playoffs but is still a huge piece for the Celtics. The big man simply being available allows them to go big against Antetokounmpo, which will be very important. Head coach Ime Udoka said that he will come off the bench.

The Celtics will have to bring their very best defensive performance against Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. With a trip to the conference finals on the line, it will take everything they have to advance.
