Johnson will start at power forward in Sunday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Brad Stevens will be prioritizing defense in Game 3 by having Gerald Green return to the bench and throwing out a bigger starting lineup. Even with the start, however, Johnson is still not expected to play a major role, as he still is yet to play more than 18 minutes in the playoffs. Marcus Smart will also start at point guard with Isaiah Thomas (hip) done for the rest of the postseason.
