Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Now, Porzingis will take a seat ahead of the first game of this back-to-back set. The Celtics will be shorthanded at the center spot with Al Horford (toe) also out. That means, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should both see an increased look in the rotation. Kornet normally plays minutes in the teens, but he could be worth a look as a low-end streaming choice with Porzingis and Horford sidelined.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It sounds like Holiday is dealing with a lingering shoulder issue, so the Celtics have decided to rest him against the shorthanded Clippers. The absence of Holiday should mean that Payton Pritchard gets an extended look in the rotation. Pritchard has scored 14 points or more in three of his last four games. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Holiday unable to play.

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (ankle) will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. The Bulls have only had the versatile veteran forward for nine games this season, and he has been sidelined since December 30 with what was originally called a lower leg contusion. The team announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will be out for at least two weeks. When available, Craig averaged just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 12.3 minutes per contest. He has flashed some upside, including scoring 18 points in his most recent game. However, the Bulls will continue to make their rotation work without him, leaving more work for Matas Buzelis, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Julian Phillips.

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig will miss a sixth straight game with a right lower leg contusion that has sidelined him since December 30. Craig averaged just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in his nine games this season and averaged 12.3 minutes per contest. The veteran did flash upside with 18 points in his most recent game against the Hornets, but he'll continue to be a non-factor for fantasy on Sunday.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. The Celtics will take the cautious approach and hold out White for Tuesday's contest. The absence of White should mean more playing time for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser in the rotation. Pritchard posted a dud last time out, but he's the more consistent streaming option between the two for Tuesday's slate.
