Kristaps Porziņģis's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's contest against Washington. Porzingis misses a chance to face his former team due to a right hamstring strain, sitting out a fifth consecutive game. He's missed a week of action with the injury but shouldn't be out for much longer, as Boston considers him day-to-day. It's possible Porzingis might be ready to return on Monday against Detroit. Al Horford always gets to play a more important role without Porzingis and has been a regular starter lately. The veteran big man is coming off his best offensive performance of the season, having racked up 24 points with 6-for-10 shooting from deep against Phoenix on Thursday.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is already ruled out for Thursday's game against Phoenix. He's missed the last three games because of a hamstring strain. Fortunately, head coach Joe Mazzulla provided a positive update, reporting Porzingis is "progressing pretty well and is getting better and better." This doesn't mean the 28-year-old will be available for the C's meeting with the Wizards on Sunday or Monday's matchup versus Detroit. In all fairness, he doesn't need to be. But at least Porzingis is moving in the right direction, although the team will play it safe to keep him healthy for a late postseason push. At any rate, Al Horford, averaging 9.4 points, 7.1 boards, and 1.1 blocks, will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Luke Kornet should also see more minutes. Yet, Kornet's streaming value is at its highest when Horford doesn't play.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't play on Thursday versus the Suns. The 28-year-old has missed 19 games this season for various reasons. However, his latest injury, a right hamstring strain, could keep him out beyond Thursday's contest. The Celtics need him healthy, considering the team is a favorite to make a deep postseason push, so he won't be rushed back. But until Porzingis returns, Al Horford, averaging 9.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 25 starts this season, can be utilized in any fantasy format.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. A strained right hamstring will cost Porzingis a third straight game, and a sprained left big toe will sideline Horford on the second night of Boston's back-to-back after the Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Both big men will set their sights toward returning for Thursday's duel with the Phoenix Suns. The Celts will be very thin in the middle against Utah, so Luke Kornet should be thrust into a featured role at the five as a chalky DFS value play. The 28-year-old rim protector has played at least 30 minutes in both of his starts this year, averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 blocks over these two appearances.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't suit up on Monday against Portland. The 28-year-old last played on Thursday in Denver, amassing 24 points, 12 boards, and one block. However, he's been out since then because of hamstring tightness. Head coach Joe Mazzulla indicated Porzingis is day-to-day, so he should be back soon, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Al Horford should remain in the starting lineup. In addition, Luke Kornet, coming off a 14-point, six-rebound performance on Saturday versus Phoenix, deserves streaming consideration.
