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.

The Boston Celtics have ruled out center Al Horford (neck) for Tuesday's matchup versus the Indiana Pacers. A sprained left neck will cost Horford the second night of Boston's back-to-back set and the third game of their current seven-game homestand. With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) questionable and Luke Kornet (hamstring) doubtful on Tuesday against the Pacers, a spot start at center and massive workload could be in store for Neemias Queta.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) have both been downgraded to out on Monday and will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans. Originally, Porzingis was questionable while Kornet was doubtful for this contest. This will be Porzingis' second consecutive missed game while Kornet was able to clock 17 minutes in their last game. The good news for the Celtics is that Al Horford was upgraded to active, so he'll likely get the bulk of the minutes at center and will run with the starting five as well. Horford will be the number-one streaming option while Neemias Queta could make an appearance and possibly be streamed in very deep leagues.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle), who is questionable for Monday's contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans, is getting shots up at the morning shootaround. Porzingis sprained his left ankle in Thursday's blowout win over the Miami Heat and missed Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but his presence at Monday's session bodes well for his chances of suiting up. Al Horford (neck) is also questionable, but if he plays on the first half of Boston's back-to-back against the Pels and KP does not, Horford is averaging 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.1 threes, and 1.4 blocks in 11 games without Porzingis this year and would be a great streaming option in fantasy.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Monday's meeting with New Orleans. The seven-footer exited Saturday's contest against the Clippers due to tightness in his left hamstring, and it appears likely that the same issue will keep Kornet completely sidelined on Monday. As the third big on the depth chart, Kornet doesn't get a lot of action, but he has played well, and Boston could really use him on Monday if Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Al Horford (neck) can't play. Both are listed as questionable for the contest.
