Starting against Atlanta Kornet will start against the Hawks on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact The Celtics will be without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) on the second leg of this back-to-back set, putting Kornet on the streaming radar. In three previous starts this season, Kornet averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 blocks.

Flirts with double-double in win Kornet recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 boards, four assists, a steal and a block in 24 minutes of action during the win over the Rockets on Friday.

Impact With Al Horford (rest) on the bench, Kornet did a little bit of everything in Friday's blowout victory, making his presence known in every facet of the game. Although he outplayed Neemias Queta and logged just four minutes less than starter Kristaps Porzingis, Kornet will likely struggle to find a real foothold in the clogged front court once Horford returns.

Double-digit rebounds in loss Kornet amassed six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Despite losing to the Celtics on Christmas Day, Kornet had a solid performance, ripping down double-digit rebounds and helping Boston remain competitive after Kristaps Porzingis went down with an injury against Philadelphia. Kornet could see a bump in minutes if Porzingis misses time with the ankle injury.

Plays well in win Kornet registered seven points (1-3 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards.

Impact Kornet saw extended run with Al Horford getting the night off for rest. That's likely to happen often this season, so fantasy managers should keep Kornet in mind as a streaming option the next time that Horford sits.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Wednesday Kornet finished Wednesday's 130-120 victory over the Pistons with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Kornet played at least 20 minutes for the second straight game, coming within a whisker of his first double-double of the season. Despite being the third-string center in Boston, injuries and rest often afford Kornet additional playing time, much like this performance. Whenever one of either Kristaps Porzingis or Al Horford is given the night off, Kornet should be at the top of the list of beneficiaries.

On bench for opener Kornet isn't part of the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Kornet drew a start Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, with the Celtics frontcourt healthy, Kornet will rejoin the reserves. He swatted six shots in 27 minutes during the start.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Block party in spot start Kornet produced six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.

Impact Making his third start of the season, Kornet swatted a season-high six shots while filling in at center for the resting Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the second night of a back-to-back set. Kornet did a fine job defending Bam Adebayo, who went just 6-for-18 from the field for the Heat. Kornet doesn't necessarily have a defined role in Boston's rotation on a nightly basis, but he's been effective in 10 appearances as a starter since 2023-24, averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 74.6 percent from the floor during this period dating back to last season. The 29-year-old veteran big man is a worthy plug-and-play option for fantasy managers on occasions that he joins the first unit, which is something to watch out for when the Celtics play back-to-back games once again Friday against the Bucks and Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Starting Monday Kornet is in the Celtics' starting five for Monday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Kornet will make his third start of the 2024-25 campaign Monday due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Horford (rest/toe), which means Neemias Queta should see increased minutes off the bench. In his last start, Kornet logged 19 points, four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes against the Hornets on Nov. 2.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • Associated Press

Good to go Friday Kornet (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Kornet will suit up after a two-game absence due to right hamstring tightness. The big man has missed three of the club's last four games, and in his last five appearances he has averaged 3.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 15.6 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Kornet (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Kornet is dealing with right hamstring tightness, but the probable tag suggests the big man could be ready to return Friday. However, Al Horford (illness) is also expected back and Kristaps Porzingis is also available, so Kornet isn't expected to be a major factor in the rotation going forward.

Jayson Tatum scored 20 points and Boston made 22 3-pointers to help the Celtics to run past the Los Angeles Clippers 126-94

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • Associated Press

Officially ruled out Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact As expected, Kornet and Al Horford (illness) have been downgraded from doubtful to out, However, Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is cleared to make his season debut. Kornet's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Chicago.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Kornet is expected to miss his second game in a row, while Al Horford (illness) is expected to sit as well. The Celtics are expected to get Kristaps Porzingis (foot) back in the lineup, however, so Kornet's fantasy appeal is likely going to take a big hit going forward.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Kornet has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact Kornet is dealing with a lingering hamstring injury and was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup. With the big man out, Neemias Queta will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench behind Al Horford.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 24 minutes in win Kornet closed Friday's 108-96 win over the Wizards with six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.

Impact Kornet played at least 24 minutes for just the second time in the past nine games, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. With Kristaps Porzingis yet to see the court, there was some belief that Kornet would assume the role as the backup center behind veteran Al Horford. However, Neemais Queta has seemingly moved ahead of Kornet in the rotation, cutting into his overall appeal even more.

Brown scores 31 points to help the Celtics outlast the Wizards 108-96 for a key NBA Cup victory

Jaylen Brown scored 31 points, and the Boston Celtics overcame an off night for Jayson Tatum to beat the Washington Wizards 108-96 in the NBA Cup

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • Associated Press

Will be available Sunday Kornet (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Kornet will return to action after a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He's started two of his nine appearances this season but will likely come off the bench Sunday, as Jaylen Brown (hip) is cleared to make his return from a four-game absence. Kornet has averaged 15.7 minutes per game across seven appearances as a reserve this season.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Kornet (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and missed Friday's overtime win over the Nets. The questionable tag for this matchup doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If he's out, then either Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman would earn another start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford.
