Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash with Cleveland. The Latvian big man came out of the lineup with a left quadriceps contusion on Sunday versus Golden State. Al Horford made his 23rd start of the campaign In Porzingis' stead, while Xavier Tillman Sr. saw 18 minutes off the bench and Luke Kornet logged 11 minutes. The minutes for the latter two were inflated due to a one-sided game. Horford has regularly seen 30-plus minutes as a starter, averaging 9.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in the role. He'll be leaned on heavily against Cleveland's big lineup if Porzingis isn't available.

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 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.
