Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. At the moment, it appears White is in danger of missing this game due to a left hand sprain. The team will likely wait and see how it feels on Monday before making any final decisions. The Celtics are banged up right now with Jaylen Brown (groin) and Jrue Holiday (knee) questionable for this game as well. If they sit, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could be looking at significant playing time during Monday's game.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Portland. Tatum has missed only three games during the 2023-24 campaign. But the C's will play the Trail Blazers, one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. As a result, there's a chance he won't be out there on Monday night, and with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) already ruled out, Oshae Brissett and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be splitting time at the four spot.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. He carried the same designation heading into Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns. However, the 2016 No. 3 overall pick still played and finished with 27 points and two steals. At any rate, Jayson Tatum (ankle), Derrick White (hand), and Jrue Holiday (knee) are also questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game. As a result, it's hard to gauge who will be available for the C's. But it's reasonable to assume guys like Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will have streaming value, so fantasy managers should grab one (or both) of them off the waiver wire.

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.
