Boston Celtics

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 guard Jaden Springer (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Chicago. The 21-year-old is nursing a right ankle problem and is waiting for a chance to make his team debut after arriving from Philadelphia in a deadline-day deal on Feb. 8. Springer played well in his final few outings as a Sixer, but he isn't expected to feature heavily in Boston with a full squad. Back-to-back situations, with some players out of the lineup for rest purposes, might provide him the best opportunity to make an impact.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with Chicago. The veteran sat out the final game before the All-Star break as Boston completed a back-to-back, but he's good to go on Thursday. The Celtics will have all their big guns on the court against the Bulls, limiting Horford's fantasy value. However, he could still produce decent numbers off the pine in a favorable matchup against a team that doesn't guard opposing bigs well - Chicago has allowed opposing centers to shoot 57 percent and gives up a league-high 11.1 rebounds per 48 minutes to power forwards.
