Sat Mar 2314:02Kristaps Porzingis Won't Suit Up Against Chicago
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Saturday night in Chicago. The veteran logged 26 minutes in Friday's massive win over the Pistons, finishing with 19 points. Yet, the C's have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team will start resting their stars to prepare for a deep postseason run. Al Horford (toe) is questionable. But if he is available, he'll likely become a coveted DFS commodity. On the other hand, if Horford is also ruled out, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr. should handle most of the work underneath the basket. With that in mind, Kornet has a much higher fantasy ceiling.

Fri Mar 2218:48Kristaps Porzingis Available Against Detroit
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will play in Friday's contest against the Pistons. He's been suffering from pain in his right hamstring. However, Friday's tilt will be the third consecutive game he's suited up in despite his injury. He didn't have a minute restriction Wednesday versus Milwaukee, but Boston could manage his workload more against Detroit, which will be the first half of back-to-back games.

Thu Mar 2118:31Kristaps Porzingis On The Injury Report
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) could miss Friday's game against the Pistons. He's questionable because of his ailing right hamstring. However, fantasy managers probably won't see him suit up versus Detroit, the worst team in the National Basketball Association. With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Al Horford (toe) questionable, Xavier Tillman Sr. could get more work, although not enough to make him a relevant fantasy option. Instead, Luke Kornet, averaging 10.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in four starts this season, is the player to target for fantasy lineups if Porzingis or Horford don't play.

Mon Mar 1819:09Kristaps Porzingis Returns To Celtics Lineup
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will return from a five-game absence on Monday versus Detroit, with the team upgrading him from probable to available ahead of the contest. He's a natural replacement in the lineup for Al Horford (toe), who gets the night off, while Porzingis could play a larger role offensively due to the absence of Jayson Tatum (ankle). However, as he was out with a hamstring strain, Boston might want to take it easy with Porzingis and not push him too hard in an easy matchup, which already smells like a blowout before the tip-off.

Mon Mar 1816:07Kristaps Porzingis Probable, Al Horford Out Monday
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game versus the Detroit Pistons, but Al Horford (toe) will be unavailable. Porzingis is expected to return from a five-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, while Horford will hit the seats with a sprained left big toe after pitching in 14 points during 23 minutes in Sunday's beatdown of the Washington Wizards. Horford doesn't play both parts of back-to-backs, so he should be good to go for Wednesday's duel with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the veteran sidelined, Porzingis could be thrust into big minutes at the five for the Celts in a favorable situation against a Detroit group that's allowing the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. The Latvian All-Star was on an heater before going down, averaging 23.3 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 triples on 46.7% shooting from deep, and 1.4 swats in 31.9 minutes over his past five games.

Sun Mar 1717:05Kristaps Porzingis Will Remain Out Against Washington
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's contest against Washington. Porzingis misses a chance to face his former team due to a right hamstring strain, sitting out a fifth consecutive game. He's missed a week of action with the injury but shouldn't be out for much longer, as Boston considers him day-to-day. It's possible Porzingis might be ready to return on Monday against Detroit. Al Horford always gets to play a more important role without Porzingis and has been a regular starter lately. The veteran big man is coming off his best offensive performance of the season, having racked up 24 points with 6-for-10 shooting from deep against Phoenix on Thursday.

Thu Mar 1418:27Kristaps Porzingis "Progressing Pretty Well"
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is already ruled out for Thursday's game against Phoenix. He's missed the last three games because of a hamstring strain. Fortunately, head coach Joe Mazzulla provided a positive update, reporting Porzingis is "progressing pretty well and is getting better and better." This doesn't mean the 28-year-old will be available for the C's meeting with the Wizards on Sunday or Monday's matchup versus Detroit. In all fairness, he doesn't need to be. But at least Porzingis is moving in the right direction, although the team will play it safe to keep him healthy for a late postseason push. At any rate, Al Horford, averaging 9.4 points, 7.1 boards, and 1.1 blocks, will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Luke Kornet should also see more minutes. Yet, Kornet's streaming value is at its highest when Horford doesn't play.

Wed Mar 1319:49Kristaps Porzingis Still Out On Thursday
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Thursday versus the Suns. The 28-year-old has missed 19 games this season for various reasons. However, his latest injury, a right hamstring strain, could keep him out beyond Thursday's contest. The Celtics need him healthy, considering the team is a favorite to make a deep postseason push, so he won't be rushed back. But until Porzingis returns, Al Horford, averaging 9.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 25 starts this season, can be utilized in any fantasy format.

Tue Mar 1215:43Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford Both Out Tuesday
Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. A strained right hamstring will cost Porzingis a third straight game, and a sprained left big toe will sideline Horford on the second night of Boston's back-to-back after the Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Both big men will set their sights toward returning for Thursday's duel with the Phoenix Suns. The Celts will be very thin in the middle against Utah, so Luke Kornet should be thrust into a featured role at the five as a chalky DFS value play. The 28-year-old rim protector has played at least 30 minutes in both of his starts this year, averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 blocks over these two appearances.

Sun Mar 1020:53Kristaps Porzingis Out Again On Monday Night
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't suit up on Monday against Portland. The 28-year-old last played on Thursday in Denver, amassing 24 points, 12 boards, and one block. However, he's been out since then because of hamstring tightness. Head coach Joe Mazzulla indicated Porzingis is day-to-day, so he should be back soon, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Al Horford should remain in the starting lineup. In addition, Luke Kornet, coming off a 14-point, six-rebound performance on Saturday versus Phoenix, deserves streaming consideration.

Sat Mar 919:20Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Against Phoenix
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Saturday against Phoenix. Head coach Joe Mazzulla stated the veteran is day-to-day moving ahead, meaning he might return on Monday in Portland. However, until Porzingis is back in the lineup, Al Horford should see an uptick in production, so he should be starting in all fantasy setups. At the same time, Porzingis' absence also opens the door for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to get more involved on the scoring end.

Tue Mar 517:59Kristaps Porzingis Back In Action Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) will return from a one-game absence on Tuesday versus Cleveland. He's been upgraded from questionable to available after Porzingis missed Sunday's demolition of Golden State with a left quadriceps contusion. Porzingis will likely reclaim his starting role from Al Horford, although the veteran should still have a big role to play on Tuesday against Cleveland's twin towers of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Whilst his overall numbers in the matchup are solid, Porzingis has shot only 12-for-29 from the field against the Cavaliers in two prior meetings this season.

Mon Mar 419:59Kristaps Porzingis In Danger Of Missing Second Consecutive Game
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.

Sun Mar 313:05Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Sunday Afternoon
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.

Sat Mar 221:22Kristaps Porzingis Uncertain For Sunday
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.

Thu Feb 2215:19Kristaps Porzingis Off Injury Report After Tweaking Ankle
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.

Thu Feb 1508:26Kristaps Porzingis Says Ankle Injury "Nothing Serious"
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.

Wed Feb 1415:20Kristaps Porzingis Off Injury Report, Al Horford Out
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%).

Mon Feb 1220:39Kristaps Porzingis Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday
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.
