Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (eye) has been listed as questionable for the team's game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday as he deals with right eye irritation. It's unclear how bad the irritation is right now, but he first suffered the injury during the first quarter against the Pacers on Saturday and had to leave the game after getting hit in the eye while fighting for a rebound. They'll likely wait for shootaround to see if his eye healed enough to comfortably be on the floor. If he's unable to suit up, Al Horford will move into the starting lineup again and Luke Kornet will be the first big man off of the bench. Horford is always a quality streaming option when Porzingis doesn't play, regardless of league size.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Monday night game against the Indiana Pacers. This could be a sort of rest game for him since his listed injury is left ankle sprain management. Tatum was a big factor in the blowout win over the Pacers on Saturday as he dropped 38 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, and one steal while shooting 14-for-23 from the floor. If he's unable to play, Jaylen Brown will take on some more usage and Sam Hauser (shoulder) would likely move into the starting lineup if he gets upgraded from questionable to active.
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (eye) is considered questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The star big man was poked in the eye during the first quarter and has yet to return to the contest. The expectation is that Al Horford will see a bigger role in the second half, assuming Porzingis is unable to return. This sounds like minor issue that shouldn't sideline Porzingis more than just this game.
Boston Celtics center Al Horford (rest) has been listed as questionable on Friday against the Utah Jazz. He's not dealing with any ailments at the moment as he was listed due to rest, so the team could be waiting to see how the rest of the starters and key reserves feel before game time. Horford usually gets a rest day on one half of back-to-backs and this game on Friday would be the first of two games in the next two days. If they decide to rest him against Utah to make sure he's ready to face the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, then either Luke Kornet or Neemias Queta would see the backup minutes instead. It's unclear which one will receive more opportunities so they're not the best streaming options at the moment.
