Brian Robb: Kristaps Porzingis plan works to perfection as Celtics beat Pistons The Celtics' cautious approach has paid off with Kristaps Porzingis.

Solid output in limited minutes Porzingis (hamstring) generated 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 21 minutes Monday in the Celtics' 119-94 win over t...

Impact The Celtics held Porzingis more than eight minutes under his season-long average of 29.8 minutes per contest in his return from a five-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, but the big man didn't need a full workload to turn in a strong fantasy line against the 12-56 Pistons. Because Boston now holds a 10-game advantage over Milwaukee for the top record in the Eastern Conference, Porzingis and the team's other key rotation players could be subject to occasional rest days and/or lightened minutes loads over the final month of the regular season as the coaching staff prioritizes health for the postseason. If that's the case, Porzingis should remain productive whenever he's available play, albeit with a lower nightly fantasy ceiling than he had earlier in the season.

Good to go Porzingis (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact As expected, Porzingis has been upgraded from probable to available and will snap a five-game absence streak. With Al Horford (toe/rest), Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) all sidelined, Porzingis should start in his return and be one of Boston's go-to offensive options.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to return Monday Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed the last five games due to a right hamstring strain, but he'll likely be able to return to action in the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. However, the Celtics may monitor his workload in his first game back.

Won't play Sunday Porzingis (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the Wizards, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Porzingis is being treated as day-to-day with a nagging hamstring problem, but the Celtics are not going to take any risks with him, and they've ruled him out to face one of the weakest teams in the Eastern Conference. Expect Al Horford to remain in the starting lineup with Porzingis out.

Regarded as day-to-day Porzingis (hamstring) is not playing Thursday versus Phoenix, but he will get on-court reps during pregame warm-ups and is regarded as day-to-day moving forward, John Karalis of Bo...

Impact Porzingis is on the mend despite missing three consecutive games due to a right hamstring strain. Karalis relays that Porzingis is feeling better by the day, which should rule out an extended absence for the 28-year-old. That being said, with Boston controlling a 9.5 game lead in the Eastern Conference, an abundance of caution could be used on the big man's health.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Thursday Porzingis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Porzingis is slated to miss a fourth straight game and his fifth since the All-Star break. Al Horford (toe) will be back in action after taking a rest day during the second night of a back-to-back Tuesday versus the Jazz and take over as the starting center against Phoenix, but Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman should be candidates for a few extra bench minutes, as well. Porzingis' next chance to suit up will come in Washington on Sunday.

MARCH 12, 2024 • SACBEE.COM

Officially out Tuesday Porzingis (hamstring) will be unavailable Tuesday versus Utah.

Impact Porzingis will miss a third consecutive game due to right hamstring soreness. Al Horford (toe) is also inactive Tuesday, leaving Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman to split center duties. Tuesday will mark an interesting test of how Boston balances workloads, with Oshae Brissett and Neemias Queta also candidates to get in the mix.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Monday at Portland Porzingis (hamstring) will not play in Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis' absence will mark his second straight, as he was a late scratch prior to Saturday's game against the Suns. The rest of the Celtics' starting lineup is listed as questionable, so depth could potentially be an issue in Portland. In Porzingis' absence, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman could see some increased minutes at center.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Phoenix Porzingis (hamstring) won't play Saturday against the Suns, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Porzingis was a late addition to the injury report Saturday, and in the end, the hamstring injury has been deemed severe enough to rule him out of this marquee matchup. Porzingis' next chance to play will come Monday against the Trail Blazers, and this also means Al Horford will presumably move into a starting role against Phoenix.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Porzingis is now listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Suns due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact Porzingis' late addition to the injury report is a bad sign of his availability Saturday. If the 28-year-old big man is ruled out, Al Horford will likely start in his place.

Kristaps Porzingis on Loss to Nuggets: 'It Stings Real Bad' “I mean, of course we wanted to, you know, this was a big game, we wanted to win this one,” Porzingis said. “It stings, it stings real bad,...

Leads from deep in double-double Porzingis totaled 24 points (9-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Porzingis led all players in Thursday's contest with a trio of threes while ending as one of two Celtics with 10 or more rebounds in a double-double performance. Porzingis, who was one of two Boston players with 20 or more points, has recorded at least 20 points and 10 boards in seven games this year. His rebound total matched a season high mark, a feat he has finished with on four occasions.

Hits for 24 in return Porzingis closed with 24 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 105-104 loss to the Cavalie...

Impact After missing Sunday's game against the Warriors due to a bruised quadricep, Porzingis was back in the lineup and providing his usual numbers. The 28-year-old big has scored in double digits in 14 straight games dating back to Jan. 13, averaging 22.1 points, 7.1 boards, 2.5 threes, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from beyond the arc.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Cleveland Porzingis (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Boston's previous contest with a left quadriceps contusion. The 28-year-old big man will likely reclaim his starting spot from Al Horford against Cleveland.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Porzingis (quad) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavs.

Impact If KP is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, Al Horford would likely get another start and there would be more minutes available for Xavier Tillman and Oshae Brissett. Check back for another update on Porzingis following Tuesday's shootaround.

MARCH 3, 2024 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Officially out Sunday Porzingis (quad) will not play Sunday versus Golden State, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis will miss his first game since the All-Star break, with his last absence coming Feb. 13. Al Horford will likely slot into the starting lineup in his stead, with Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman and Sam Hauser receiving upticks in roles Sunday -- although Golden State's small-ball centric style anchored by Draymond Green at center could lead to lineup creativity by Boston.
