Xavier Tillman Sr. - Unable to play Thursday Tillman (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Chicago, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Tillman is slated to miss Thursday's game, though his absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation. With the big man and Sam Hauser (back) both sidelined, Neemias Queta and Jordan Walsh are candidates to see a slight uptick in playing time. Tillman's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Bulls.

Kristaps Porzingis - Will suit up Thursday Porzingis (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics will receive a huge boost to their frontcourt for this game against Chicago since both Porzingis and Al Horford will be available. Porzingis has been limited to just seven appearances this season, but he's averaging 19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Hauser - Ruled out Thursday Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Hauser has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a right adductor strain and a lingering lower back injury. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson could see increased roles. Hauser's next chance to play will come Saturday against Chicago.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • SI.COM

Xavier Tillman Sr. - Questionable to play Thursday Tillman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact A decision on Tillman's status will be made closer to Thursday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. That said, his potential absence isn't expected to move the needle too much in terms of fantasy purposes. With Al Horford (rest) ready to go Thursday, Tillman would be in line to have a backup role -- at best -- while battling with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet for minutes at center.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Al Horford - No longer on injury report Horford is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Horford missed the 112-98 win over the Wizards on Dec. 15 due to rest purposes. However, Boston had three days off after that contest, so Horford should be ready to go and handle his regular workload Thursday. The veteran is averaging 9.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Hauser - Iffy for Thursday Hauser is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls with lower back spasms, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact This is a new issue for Hauser after he previously overcame a minor thigh injury. If Hauser is unable to give it a go, the Celtics will likely use a committee approach to soak up his minutes.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable for Thursday Porzingis (heel) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact The questionable tag was expected after Porzingis participated in Wednesday's practice -- the Celtics want to see how his heel injury responds Thursday morning before a decision is made. Porzingis suffered the injury during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards, but it was always believed to be a day-to-day issue.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kristaps Porzingis - Goes through practice Porzingis (heel) participated in Wednesday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Joe Mazulla said Porzingis looked good and that he was moving around well, and that bodes well for his status against the Bulls on Thursday. The Celtics want to see how his body responds to the practice, so fantasy managers could expect a potential questionable tag on the upcoming injury report.
