Won't be available Tuesday Porzingis (illness) won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis was initially announced as a starter and then was downgraded to doubtful due to an illness, but in the end, he won't suit up and will miss Tuesday's matchup. The Celtics will play against the Pistons on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Porzingis' status for that contest will be determined in the early afternoon of Wednesday.

Doubtful Tuesday Porzingis (illness) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact After a well-rounded performance in Sunday's win against the Knicks, Porzingis is trending toward not playing Tuesday in Toronto due to illness. If the veteran big man cannot play against the Raptors, the Celtics will likely turn to Luke Kornet and Al Horford to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Starts off hot Sunday Porzingis logged 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-105 win over the Knicks.

Impact Porzingis helped the Celtics build a 21-point halftime lead by scoring 13 of his 15 points over the first two quarters of Sunday's game, though he wasn't able to carry that hot shooting into the second half. Porzingis made his presence felt on the defensive end of the floor, dissuading Knicks' players from driving to the basket while swatting three shots for the fourth time this season. Porzingis has averaged 18.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.3 blocks over 31.6 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Full stat line in rout Porzingis totaled 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over the 76ers.

Impact Although Porzingis didn't have a huge impact outside the scoring department, he was still able to put together a full stat line despite his minutes being limited by Thursday's rout. The star big man remains a key producer in Boston's lineup on both ends of the floor, averaging 20.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.3 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers across his last eight contests while shooting 41.5 percent from downtown.

Jayson Tatum had 32 points and 14 rebounds and the Boston Celtics beat the San Antonio Spurs 116-103 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory and seventh in eight games

FEBRUARY 13 • Associated Press

Steps up offensively sans Brown Porzingis tallied 29 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 win over San Antonio.

Impact Porzingis was the Celtics' No. 2 option behind Jayson Tatum for a second straight game due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee). Porzingis' 29 points were his second-most of the season and second-highest in the game behind Tatum (32). Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points on 49.6 percent shooting (including 45.3 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G), 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocks over 30.1 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Not listed on injury report Porzingis (illness) is not listed on Boston's injury report for Monday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Knicks due to an illness but will return to action Monday. Jrue Holiday (shoulder) remains out, while Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are questionable, so Porzingis may see extra usage Monday. Over his last eight games, Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 29.4 minutes per game.

Jayson Tatum scored 13 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter and the Boston Celtics rallied from a 26-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 118-110

Impact Even though Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum led the way for the Celtics on offense, there's no question that Porzingis delivered an outstanding fantasy line while recording at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Porzingis has surpassed the 15-point mark in 12 straight appearances and is doing a solid job as a secondary option on offense. He's averaging 20.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks per game over that 12-game stretch.
