Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring issue and has been listed as doubtful for the team's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Al Horford (illness) has also been deemed doubtful, so that leaves Kristaps Porzingis (foot) who has been listed as probable to make his season debut, along with Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. Porzingis could be on a minutes restriction, so Queta could serve as a solid streaming option in deeper leagues.

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) has drawn a doubtful status heading into the team's Monday matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. With Luke Kornet (hamstring) also doubtful, the timing couldn't have been better for Kristaps Porzingis (foot) to be ruled probable to make his season debut. If Porzingis is on a heavy minute restriction, however, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be streamed for center stats in deeper leagues.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) last played in the NBA Finals last season at a limited capacity as he dealt with a foot injury. After undergoing surgery in the off-season, he's been slowly ramping up throughout the beginning of the regular season. The team has officially listed him as probable on their injury report for their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. There's likely to be a minutes restriction at first, and Porzingis entering the lineup again means fewer fantasy opportunities for the likes of Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta, and even Al Horford.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kornet wasn't on the injury report, but is now a late scratch due to a hamstring issue. The loss of Kornet won't mean too much with Al Horford (illness) returning on Sunday. The loss of Kornet should mean more minutes for Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. in the rotation. Neither are ideal streaming options but Queta could be worth a look due to his rebounding.

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) is available to play for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Horford is back in the mix after missing Friday's contest due to an illness. The expectation is Horford will resume his normal role in the rotation. The big man is averaging 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 27 minutes per game this season. There have been some duds along the way, but Horford has been playing better over his last two games. His return to the lineup should shift Neemias Queta back to the bench. Fantasy managers who have Horford rostered can get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
