Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash with Cleveland. The Latvian big man came out of the lineup with a left quadriceps contusion on Sunday versus Golden State. Al Horford made his 23rd start of the campaign In Porzingis' stead, while Xavier Tillman Sr. saw 18 minutes off the bench and Luke Kornet logged 11 minutes. The minutes for the latter two were inflated due to a one-sided game. Horford has regularly seen 30-plus minutes as a starter, averaging 9.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in the role. He'll be leaned on heavily against Cleveland's big lineup if Porzingis isn't available.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) won't play on Sunday afternoon against the Warriors. He has missed 15 games this season already, so fantasy managers are hardly surprised by the latest update. There should be plenty of opportunities for others without the 2015 No. 4 overall pick in the lineup. Of course, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown should get a few more scoring chances. But Al Horford, averaging 9.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 22 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Warriors. The 2015 No. 4 overall pick has played well in his first season with the C's, averaging 20.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks. But he's also missed 15 games. With Boston owning the best record in the National Basketball Association, it's evident the team will do everything to keep their starters healthy. As a result, fantasy managers should prepare themselves in advance, with Al Horford in line to enter the starting lineup if Porzingis isn't on the floor. Horford has been productive when rolling with the first five throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so he'll make a suitable streaming option for fantasy managers.

The Boston Celtics have not listed center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Porzingis tweaked his left ankle in last Wednesday's 136-86 drubbing of the Brooklyn Nets, but he carries no injury designation into Thursday's tilt. KP is recording 20.2 points on 53.2% shooting from the field, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers, and 1.9 blocks per game during his debut season in Boston and is a must-start Thursday.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis was limited to only 16 minutes of action against Brooklyn on Wednesday due to a left ankle injury. However, he isn't expected to miss any time, with the big man himself admitting postgame that it wasn't a serious issue and he was available to return to the game. Boston elected to keep Porzingis out of action in the second half after jumping to a massive 66-32 lead in the first 24 minutes. After getting rested versus the Nets on Tuesday, Porzingis had a very productive outing in the limited minutes with 15 points, five rebounds, one block, and three triples. He now gets to give his ankle plenty of rest until the next game, which is scheduled for Feb. 22 against Chicago.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is off the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Brooklyn Nets. A lower back contusion forced Porzingis from Sunday's win over the Miami Heat late, and he missed Tuesday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets, but he'll be available for Boston's final game before the All-Star break. The Celtics will hold out Al Horford (toe) due to a sprained left big toe, but he and Porzingis have alternated appearances on back to-back sets all year long. The Latvian All-Star has been a second-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues during his debut season in Beantown, banking 20.4 points on 52.9% shooting from the field, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.8 threes per game. Make sure Porzingis is in all season-long lineups despite a tough matchup against a Nets squad that ranks ninth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.9%).

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The big man lands on the injury report after exiting early on Sunday due to a back issue. It's worth noting that Porzingis was able to return and finish out that contest. If he sits, Al Horford would likely move into the starting five. He'd be a strong streaming option if Porzingis is forced to sit out.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's tilt versus the Indiana Pacers, while Luke Kornet (hamstring) has been downgraded to out. Al Horford (neck) will be missing on Tuesday as well, so Porzingis should dominate minutes at center following a two-game absence with a sprained left ankle. The Unicorn is generating 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.8 blocks per game and should be deployed in all season-long fantasy leagues.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) have both been downgraded to out on Monday and will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans. Originally, Porzingis was questionable while Kornet was doubtful for this contest. This will be Porzingis' second consecutive missed game while Kornet was able to clock 17 minutes in their last game. The good news for the Celtics is that Al Horford was upgraded to active, so he'll likely get the bulk of the minutes at center and will run with the starting five as well. Horford will be the number-one streaming option while Neemias Queta could make an appearance and possibly be streamed in very deep leagues.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle), who is questionable for Monday's contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans, is getting shots up at the morning shootaround. Porzingis sprained his left ankle in Thursday's blowout win over the Miami Heat and missed Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but his presence at Monday's session bodes well for his chances of suiting up. Al Horford (neck) is also questionable, but if he plays on the first half of Boston's back-to-back against the Pels and KP does not, Horford is averaging 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.1 threes, and 1.4 blocks in 11 games without Porzingis this year and would be a great streaming option in fantasy.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Al Horford (neck) are both marked down on the injury report as questionable for their Monday night contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Porzingis was unable to play in their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday and he has now missed 13 games so far this year, which means he can only miss four more games for the rest of the season to qualify for the regular season awards. Horford, on the other hand, has played in more games despite being almost 10 years older. If they're both unable to suit up, the frontcourt is going to be very thin since Luke Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful. That would open up minutes for Neemias Queta and Oshae Brissett, who would be difficult to trust as streaming options.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in Thursday's 143-110 victory over the Miami Heat. Although the injury isn't anything serious, it will keep him off the floor for at least a game. Porzingis has averaged 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks this season, so his absence is a tough blow for the Celtics. However, Al Horford should take his place in the lineup, with the 37-year-old averaging 9.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 17 starts this season, making him a viable asset for fantasy managers.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Clippers on Saturday night. The former All-Star sprained his left ankle in Thursday's matchup against the Heat, and it looks like he'll have to sit out his 13th game of the season. Porzingis' absence has typically given a good boost to Al Horford. The veteran has averaged 10.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in games without Porzingis this season.

The Boston Celtics have announced a clean injury report for Thursday's showdown with the Miami Heat, meaning center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will be available to play. After fully practicing on Wednesday, Porzingis will return on Thursday from a one-game absence during Monday's road win over the Dallas Mavericks due to inflammation in his right knee. The 28-year-old All-Star returns to second-round fantasy figures in 12-team nine-category leagues, putting up 19.5 points on 52.5% field-goal shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.9 blocks per game for the Celtics this season. Following a 31-minute spot start on Monday, veteran Al Horford will revert to Boston's second unit on Thursday.

The Boston Celtics have listed center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Monday is the second night of Boston's back-to-back, so they will hold the oft-injured Latvian All-Star out of this revenge game against his former team due to inflammation in his right knee. Porzingis dropped a game-high 32 points with six three-pointers and five blocks in Sunday's road win over the Houston Rockets, and fantasy managers should expect him back in the Celtics' lineup for Thursday's showdown with the Miami Heat. Veteran Al Horford (rest) is off the injury report versus the Mavericks and is the most likely candidate to join the starting five. In nine contests without Porzingis this year, Horford is chipping in 10.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.8 swats per game.

The Boston Celtics have no injuries to report ahead of Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets, meaning center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is good to go for the game. Friday is a possible NBA Finals preview between the first-place Celtics and the defending champions, and both sides are slated to be at full strength. Boston kept Porzingis out of Wednesday's blowout win over the San Antonio Spurs due to inflammation in his right knee, but they were still able to easily dispatch their lesser opponent. The Unicorn is nearly posting top-25 value in nine-category fantasy leagues during his debut season in Beantown, amassing 19.1 points on 52.5% field-goal shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.8 blocks per game. Al Horford netted three triples in Wednesday's start, but he'll likely pivot back to the bench while Porzingis dukes it out with Nikola Jokic.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will sit out Wednesday's tilt versus the San Antonio Spurs. Porzingis is dealing with inflammation in his right knee, so we won't get to see him tangle with fellow unicorn Victor Wembanyama on Wednesday. Look for KP to return for Friday's showdown with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets, as there's reason to believe that the Celtics are simply using this matchup against this last-place Spurs team for some load management. Al Horford has averaged 10.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists over eight appearances without Porzingis this season, so he deserves to be a popular streamer and DFS option in the game with the slate's highest implied point total (238.5).

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is out for Wednesday's showdown with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wednesday is the front end of Boston's back-to-back, so they will opt to keep Porzingis out due to a right knee contusion likely with an eye toward having him suit up for Thursday's clash versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics have regularly alternated rest days between the oft-injured Latvian All-Star and veteran Al Horford (illness), who will play on Wednesday but figures to sit out on Thursday. Horford should slide into head coach Joe Mazzulla's starting lineup against a rigid Minnesota defense holding opponents to an NBA-best 107.2 points per game, and he sports averages of 11.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 2.1 triples in seven games without Porzingis this season.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. It's the beginning of a back-to-back for Boston and Porzingis has started to skip games in these situations, so he could take the night off on Wednesday. Al Horford should then feature heavily in the rotation, although the veteran is questionable himself with an illness. Either way, it's not a good matchup for Boston's bigs, as Minnesota boasts the most efficient defense in the league, with Rudy Gobert anchoring things in the paint.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (eye) will be available for Monday's rematch with the Indiana Pacers after exiting Saturday's tilt following six minutes of action. Porzingis is dealing with irritation in his right eye after Aaron Nesmith poked him in their last time out, but it won't be enough to hold him out of this contest. The 28-year-old sharpshooting big man is returning third-round fantasy numbers in nine-category leagues during his Celtics debut season, amassing 19.8 points on 53.6% shooting from the field, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, and 1.7 blocks per game. Porzingis should not face any minute restrictions on Monday, and he finds himself in a potential eruption spot with Jayson Tatum (ankle) out against a Pacers defense bleeding the second-most points per game (124.1) this year.
