Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (rest) will miss Sunday's season finale against the Washington Wizards. The Celtics are resting several key players to keep them fresh for the playoffs, which are just around the corner. Xavier Tillman Sr. and Luke Kornet could capitalize on the absence of key frontcourt players. With the stage set for them to perform well, they have a prime opportunity to excel against Washington, one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and forward/center Al Horford (toe) will step out of the lineup on Friday against Charlotte. After losing to New York 118-109 on Thursday, Boston gives all of its key guys rest on Friday, with Xavier Tillman Sr. and Luke Kornet direct beneficiaries from the frontcourt absentees. The stage is set for the two to perform well against a team that gives up the third-most points and the second-most rebounds in the league to opposing centers.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will be back in the lineup on Thursday against the Knicks. After being named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Porzingis sat out Tuesday's big matchup against Milwaukee. He was also initially regarded as questionable for Thursday, but the team has upgraded him to available. Porzingis will be eager to perform well against his former team. He's done a lot of damage against the Knicks across four games this season, averaging 23.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 blocks with 56 percent three-point shooting.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks. He's been getting routine days off to rest, and with Boston sitting comfortably as the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, the C's may start resting their starters. But with Porzingis, Al Horford (toe), and Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) on the injury report versus New York, Luke Kornet may get his share of minutes at the five, giving him plenty of upside for DFS participants.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The first-place Celtics will give their two top big men the night off on Tuesday, with their next opportunities to take the court arriving in Thursday's battle with the New York Knicks. Porzingis is simply having his right hamstring managed, and Horford is nursing a sprained left big toe. With that said, Luke Kornet has averaged 10.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 blocks in 30.1 minutes over five games as a member of Boston's starting lineup this season and would figure to join the first unit at the five in this one. Kornet should be a chalky DFS value play despite a matchup with a Bucks club allowing the eighth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing centers.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with Milwaukee. The Celtics are the top team in the Eastern Conference standings by a mile, so there's a good chance Porzingis won't be on the floor. With Al Horford (toe) questionable, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be in line for more minutes underneath the rim. However, Kornet has a much higher fantasy upside, so DFS managers should keep him in mind if Porzingis and Horford don't suit up.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will play in Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. Listed under right hamstring injury management on Boston's injury report, Porzingis has been upgraded to available. The 28-year-old Latvian All-Star is a set-and-forget fantasy bet any time he's active for the Celts, averaging 20.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.3 three-pointers, and 2.8 combined steals plus blocks across his latest 11 appearances. With more usage set to fall into his lap with Jaylen Brown (hand) out of action on Monday, KP could have a field day against an 18-56 Hornets team allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points to opposing centers this year. Note that Boston checks in as 17.5-point favorites in this one, which could affect the starters' minutes.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable due to right hamstring injury management. This has been a trend for the Celtics against weaker opponents. They seem to rest their starters or give their main rotation players a rest during games that aren't very important against the lesser teams. Boston has all but locked up the number-one seed in the East, so their top priority will be keeping everyone healthy for the playoffs. Porzingis has been one of the more injury-prone players, so fantasy managers will want to have either Al Horford or Xavier Tillman Sr. as a backup plan.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
