Impact Aside from recording a double-double for the second time across his last three outings, it's worth noting that Porzingis finished just one block shy of tying his season-high mark in that category. Porzingis has also been on a tear offensively, as he's cleared the 15-point mark in 13 straight appearances, a run that dates back to Feb. 24. He's averaging 21.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks per game in that span.

Kristaps Porzingis reveals added motivation as Celtics beat Pelicans Kristaps Porzingis was not happy with his play before Saturday's win.

MARCH 31, 2024 • MASSLIVE.COM

Notches double-double vs. Pelicans Porzingis closed with 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 104-92 win over New Orleans.

Impact Although Porzingis missed five of his six three-pointers Saturday, he provided a reliable scoring presence inside the arc, as the Celtics consistently set up the big man against smaller defenders. He's now registered three or more blocks in each of his last three games and ranks ninth in the NBA averaging 1.9 blocks per game. Porzingis averaged 20.4 points on 45.3 percent shooting, 7.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.1 steals over 30.9 minutes per game in March.

Joe Mazzulla defends Kristaps Porzingis tactic in Celtics loss to Hawks Kristaps Porzingis found himself in a tough defensive spot in crunch time against the Hawks.

MARCH 29, 2024 • MASSLIVE.COM

Stuffs stat sheet in loss to Hawks Porzingis notched 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.

Impact Porzingis didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 20 shots to score 20 points, but he still found a way to salvage his fantasy stat line due to his contributions in peripheral categories, particularly as a rebounder and defensive anchor down low. Porzingis has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 12 appearances since the All-Star break, and while he might hold a semi-secondary role on offense behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, he remains extremely valuable in fantasy due to his two-way ability and stat-filling capacity.

Impact Porzingis doesn't appear to have suffered any injury, but the Celtics are opting to play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday. With Al Horford (toe) questionable, Luke Kornet could be in line for another start. Porzingis' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Atlanta.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Friday's win Porzingis amassed 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over Detroit.

Impact The 28-year-old big continues to have his minutes capped due to a nagging hamstring injury, as Boston works to keep Porzingis on the court for the playoffs. The restriction hasn't kept him from posting solid numbers, though, and through three games since returning to the lineup Porzingis has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Impact Porzingis played just 21 minutes Monday after returning from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury. However, the 28-year-old big man should be able to play closer to his season average of 29.6 minutes against Milwaukee.
