Xavier Tillman Sr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will be available for Thursday's intriguing matchup against the Knicks. Boston's backup big has overcome a right knee issue, and the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) also in the lineup, Tillman Sr. likely won't play a large part in the Celtics' plans on Thursday. He should have a much bigger role on Friday in a favorable matchup against Charlotte.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will play on Thursday against Atlanta. He wasn't available when these clubs met on Monday night because of knee swelling and was questionable heading into this one. But he's averaged just 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the Celtics, so his presence won't mean much to DFS managers, even with Al Horford (toe) sidelined.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Atlanta. A swollen left knee might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. Tillman Sr. is logging 15.5 minutes per game as a backup big in Boston. He's registered 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the team since arriving from Memphis. There might be an opportunity for Tillman Sr. to have a larger role on Thursday, with Al Horford (toe) in danger of missing the game, but he likely still won't see enough time on the court to be a viable fantasy option.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) isn't available for Monday's meeting with the Hawks. He's dealing with left knee swelling. However, the 25-year-old has averaged only 3.5 points and 3.3 boards in 11 games with the Celtics this season, so his absence doesn't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Tillman's next chance to play is on Thursday for a rematch with Atlanta. Yet, if Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet are active, Tillman won't get involved in that one, either.

Boston Celtics center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) has been listed as questionable due to knee swelling for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old has settled into a reserve role so far in Boston and that should continue if he does end up playing on Monday. Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are both set to play in this one, so that will leave Tillman with the scraps or some garbage time if they end up winning by a blowout. If he's unable to suit up, Luke Kornet will get those vacant minutes while Horford and Porzingis likely get a few extra opportunities in a closer game.
