Celtics expect Allen, Perkins to play in Game 6

[Shark79]

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Celtics coach Doc Rivers expects Ray Allen to play in Game 6 of the NBA Finals after the guard skipped the team's shoot around following his overnight flight from Los Angeles.

Boston center Kendrick Perkins participated in the workout and is likely to play Tuesday night after missing Game 5 against the Lakers with a shoulder injury.

Allen stayed behind after the team left Los Angeles because his toddler son was undergoing medical tests after feeling ill. The Celtics gave no details of his son's condition at Allen's request.

Boston leads the series 3-2 and can win its first title since 1986 on Tuesday night. Allen is second on the team in shooting and rebounding in the Finals. The absence of the 280-pound Perkins helped the Lakers' inside game in their 103-98 win Sunday.
