Kristaps Porziņģis DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) isn't available for Sunday's meeting with Denver. He's not hurt, which is always a concern. However, the veteran isn't feeling well, so he'll miss a second-consecutive game. Al Horford got the start on Friday against the Cavaliers, finishing with five points and seven rebounds. Horford will likely draw the start once again versus Nikola Jokic and company, with Luke Kornet coming off the bench. Yet, with Jaylen Brown (knee) and Jayson Tatum on the floor, everyone else could have a tough time getting consistent scoring opportunities, capping Horford's fantasy potential.
