Sun Jul 6 2014 | 14:55 | Kris Humphries linked to at least seven teams |
Unrestricted free agent Kris Humphries has drawn interest from the Celtics, Clippers, Heat, Hornets, Mavericks, Timberwolves and Wizards. |
Humphries is 29 years old and he's coming off a solid year in Boston -- on a per-36-minute basis, he averaged 15.1 points on 50.1 percent shooting, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and a career-best 1.6 blocks. He projects as a reserve big man on all of the teams linked to him thus far, however, so he's likely to remain a marginal fantasy option in 2014-15. |

Wed Apr 16 2014 | 17:43 | Kris Humphries not playing on Wednesday |
Kris Humphries (knee) will not play on Wednesday vs. the Wizards. |
He's had some tendinitis in his knee and played just 11 minutes in the final six games of the season because of it. With Humphries out, Kelly Olynyk will look to build off his career night and should be in all fantasy lineups. Brandon Bass will also get some extra chances. |

Mon Apr 14 2014 | 17:53 | Kris Humphries likely out for the season |
Kris Humphries (knee) is unlikely to play on Wednesday vs. the Wizards. |
He has tendinitis in his knee and it was a bit of a surprise to even see him on the court for 11 minutes on Friday. Humphries can be cut in all fantasy leagues while Kelly Olynyk and Brandon Bass will get some extra playing time in a very thin frontcourt. |

Mon Apr 14 2014 | 11:21 | Kris Humphries (knee) won't play Monday |
Kris Humphries (knee) will not play vs. Philadelphia on Saturday. |
He's dealing with tendinitis and it seems the Celtics are content to let him rest down the stretch, rather than asking their veteran soon-to-be free agent to risk aggravating the problem in a meaningless game. Brandon Bass and Kelly Olynyk will get extra playing time with Humphries and Jared Sullinger (ankle) out of commission. |

Sat Apr 12 2014 | 19:26 | Kris Humphries ruled out for Saturday |
Kris Humphries (knee) will not play against the Cavs on Saturday. |
He played 11 minutes in his return to the lineup on Friday and the team will keep him out tonight. This is basically planned rest and Humphries should make it back for Monday. Brandon Bass and Kelly Olynyk should get plenty of run. |

Fri Apr 11 2014 | 23:41 | Kris Humphries unlikely to play after return |
Kris Humphries played 11 minutes in his return to the lineup on Friday with four points and seven rebounds. |
He missed the last two games with knee tendinitis and obviously the team limited him for whatever reasons. Humphries is unlikely to play against the Cavs on Saturday and he's likely going to be a game-time call. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues until further notice. |

Fri Apr 11 2014 | 18:04 | Kris Humphries (knee) will play on Friday |
Kris Humphries (knee) will return to the lineup against the Bobcats on Friday. |
He went through pre-game warmups to see how the tendinitis in his knee felt, and it sounds like he'll be ready to go. Humphries will likely be in a timeshare with Kelly Olynyk, so the two kind of cancel each other out as fantasy plays. Jared Sullinger should still be effective tonight. |

Fri Apr 11 2014 | 15:28 | Kris Humphries has a chance to play Friday |
Kris Humphries (knee) will go through a pre-game workout before Friday's contest vs. the Bobcats before deciding on his status. |
In other words, he's a game-time decision tonight. If he does play, he will likely sit out on Saturday in the second half of a back-to-back. Humphries has missed the last two games with his sore knee and he could still be limited. His return wouldn't hurt Jared Sullinger much, but it may affect Kelly Olynyk's production. |

Tue Apr 8 2014 | 11:58 | Kris Humphries ruled out Wed., MRI coming |
Kris Humphries' sore knee will keep him out of Wednesday's game against the Hawks. |
He missed Saturday's game as well, will undergo an MRI, and you have to wonder if his season is over. Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk will soak up his minutes in the meantime. |

Mon Apr 7 2014 | 11:51 | Kris Humphries (knee) doesn't practice Monday |
Kris Humphries sat out Monday's practice due to ongoing knee tendinitis. |
The veteran doesn't have a clear return date, leaving him iffy for Wednesday's game vs. Atlanta. Jared Sullinger moved into the starting lineup in his absence, with Brandon Bass starting at PF, and that arrangement may continue if Humphries can't play against the Hawks and perimeter-oriented Pero Antic. |

Wed Mar 26 2014 | 22:29 | Kris Humphries gets 'Sullied' on Wednesday |
Kris Humphries started again on Wednesday but hit just 1-of-6 shots for four points, four rebounds and a block in 17 minutes. |
Jared Sullinger went bananas off the bench with 26 points, eight rebounds and four 3-pointers tonight, limiting Humps in the process. Humphries had a double-double back on March 16, but hasn't done much since that one. And if Sullinger is going to stay hot, things may not get better for Humphries anytime soon. |

Sat Mar 22 2014 | 02:44 | Kris Humphries playing fine vs. the Nets |
Kris Humphries had a mediocre game against his former team on Friday during a 114-98 loss to the Nets, scoring 12 points with eight boards, one steal and one block in 24 minutes. |
The Celtics are not getting much out of their frontcourt and Humphries was able to get some production due to five offensive boards. The perimeter scorers do most of the damage as far as scoring goes, but Hump seems like he's locked in as a near double-double guy with some blocks. He's worth owning in standard leagues for now. |

Wed Mar 19 2014 | 23:33 | Kris Humphries plays just 15 minutes in win |
Kris Humphries played just 15 minutes in another start on Wednesday, hitting 2-of-4 shots for seven points, two rebounds and zero blocks. |
Here we go again. Humps had just five points on Monday, but also had 14 rebounds in that one, and he had scored in double digits in five straight games before Monday. He isn't hurt, but Brad Stevens seems to have trouble making up his mind. Jared Sullinger played 31 minutes and had 14 points, four rebounds, a block and two 3-pointers, and Kelly Olynyk had 10 points, five boards and a 3-pointer in 20 minutes. Stevens likes his three-headed center option and you never know which guy is going to be the one to play from night to night. |

Tue Mar 18 2014 | 01:38 | Humphries grabs 14 rebounds in loss |
Kris Humphries racked up 14 rebounds in Monday's loss to the Mavs, and also chipped in with five points, one steal and one block in 24 minutes. |
Humphries hit just 2-of-8 shots to mellow this line out a smidge, but on the whole it's another solid game out of a guy playing at a mid-to-late round level lately. We don't know how long this can continue but for now he's worth owning in most standard formats. |

Sun Mar 16 2014 | 21:08 | Kris Humphries posts another double-double |
Kris Humphries tied Sunday's game with a buzzer-beating jumper on Sunday, en route to a second consecutive double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. |
He added three assists and three blocks in the defeat, and continues to defy expectations as the Celtics seem willing to let their veteran PF/C soak up minutes ahead of guys like Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk. It may not last until the final game of the regular season, but Hump has played 20+ minutes in six consecutive games and fantasy owners might as well keep him active until his role dwindles. |

Tue Mar 11 2014 | 21:38 | Kris Humphries plays well in another start |
Kris Humphries started at center for the Celtics on Tuesday and hit 6-of-10 shots for 15 points, nine rebounds, one steal and no blocks in 26 minutes. |
He oddly disappeared from the game in the fourth quarter, but with Jared Sullinger also playing well, and Kelly Olynyk getting minutes, it's not all that surprising. Humps has played very well in two straight games, but we've seen him go on runs before, only to disappear a short time later. And with Sullinger and Olynyk also getting minutes, it's impossible to tell which guys Brad Stevens will roll with from night to night. But for now, Humphries looks like he should be in fantasy lineups as long as he's starting for the Celtics. |

Sun Mar 9 2014 | 21:17 | Kris Humphries lights up Pistons for 20 & 11 |
Kris Humphries lit up the Pistons' suspect defense for a season-high 20 points on Sunday, while adding 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in just 27 minutes. |
Humphries sank 9-of-13 shots and both of his free throws, a far cry from his past two games when he averaged 4.5 points on combined 3-of-11 shooting. Boston's upcoming four-game week should smooth out some rough patches, but Humphries remains a borderline fantasy option in the Celtics' busy frontcourt. |

Wed Mar 5 2014 | 23:31 | Kris Humphries benched in blowout loss |
Kris Humphries played just 16 minutes on Wednesday, hitting 1-of-5 shots for two points and three rebounds. |
Humps came in hot, averaging 14.0 points and 6.5 rebounds over his previous four games, but got benched early in tonight's blowout. As long as he stays in the starting lineup, he's worth a look, but now that Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger are both healthy, Humphries may struggle for consistency going forward. |

Sat Mar 1 2014 | 23:04 | Kris Humphries drops 18 & 10 vs. Pacers |
Kris Humphries started again for the Celtics on Saturday and had 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes. |
He played just 17 minutes in Wednesday's start but saw a lot more action with Kelly Olynyk (toe) and Gerald Wallace (knee) out. Jared Sullinger was back from his concussion and while this game was quite promising for Humps, we've seen him play well and quickly disappear in the past. Use caution if you're thinking about picking him up. |
