According to Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, Boston Celtics centerKristaps Porzingis(illness) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will miss his sixth game in a row due to a lingering illness. It is unclear when the 29-year-old will return, but his next chance to suit up is Wednesday versus the Thunder. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) both sidelined,Luke KornetandNeemias Queta will likely have the most time on the floor for the Celtics at center.


Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hip) won't play on Monday against the Bulls. The 25-year-old has missed the last two games because of a hip injury. But he was observed taking shots on Monday night, so fantasy managers shouldn't rule him out when the Pacers meet the Bucks on Tuesday. T.J. McConnell (ankle) is questionable, meaning Andrew Nembhard may be tasked with handling the ball more than usual.


According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks guardTrae Young(quad) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The superstar point guard will miss his fifth game of the season due to a left quad contusion he picked up against the Pacers on Saturday. Caris LeVertorTerance Manncould move into the starting five with Young out. Both would be strong streaming options sinceLeVert dropped 26 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two blocks off of the bench in his last outing.


Boston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) won't play on Monday versus Utah. He's listed as out because of a toe sprain. But it's not uncommon for the veteran to miss games, so fantasy managers may see him back on the floor on Wednesday night against OKC. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) ruled out, Horford would have likely handled things underneath the basket. However, Luke Kornet, averaging 10.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 10 starts this season, will likely get the start.


Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play on Monday against Utah. He didn't suit up for the March 5 win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of a shoulder issue. But this time, he'll sit out because of a knee injury. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe) are also out, so, Sam Hauser, averaging 10.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 12 starts this season, will likely roll with the first five. Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and Jaylen Brown will likely do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.
