Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is set to return to action in Monday's matchup against the Miami Heat. Porzingis was a last-minute scratch on Saturday against the New York Knicks due to an illness, but he has made a swift recovery. The Celtics have recently seen a decline in Porzingis' production due to his poor three-point shooting. He has hit only 31.1 percent from beyond the arc this month, averaging 18.0 points. Porzingis might see some extra offensive touches on Monday since Boston will be without Jaylen Brown (knee).

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sat out Wednesday's win over the Clippers but will be back on the floor on Thursday when the Celtics face the Lakers. Porzingis has been limited to just 19 games this season but has played in eight of the last 10 for Boston, averaging 19.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocked shots, and 29.3 minutes per game over that stretch. He's nearing full strength after his delayed start to the season, and he'll look to help the healthy Celtics get a big road win over the Lakers in a rivalry matchup Thursday night. Since both he and Al Horford (toe) will be back after missing Wednesday, there will be fewer minutes for Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta on Thursday.

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.
