Luke Kornet's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) won't play in Sunday's postseason showdown with the Miami Heat. Kornet holds a semi-regular spot in the rotation, averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks this season. But he's sidelined because of a strained calf, meaning the 28-year-old could miss more time beyond Sunday's contest. Fortunately, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are available, so they should absorb most of the minutes at the five. Xavier Tillman Sr. could potentially see the floor. However, Tillman won't play enough to warrant DFS consideration.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) have both been downgraded to out on Monday and will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans. Originally, Porzingis was questionable while Kornet was doubtful for this contest. This will be Porzingis' second consecutive missed game while Kornet was able to clock 17 minutes in their last game. The good news for the Celtics is that Al Horford was upgraded to active, so he'll likely get the bulk of the minutes at center and will run with the starting five as well. Horford will be the number-one streaming option while Neemias Queta could make an appearance and possibly be streamed in very deep leagues.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Monday's meeting with New Orleans. The seven-footer exited Saturday's contest against the Clippers due to tightness in his left hamstring, and it appears likely that the same issue will keep Kornet completely sidelined on Monday. As the third big on the depth chart, Kornet doesn't get a lot of action, but he has played well, and Boston could really use him on Monday if Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Al Horford (neck) can't play. Both are listed as questionable for the contest.
