Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable to return to Monday's playoff clash with the Knicks. Leading up to his premature exit, he logged only 13 minutes, failing to score a point while adding four rebounds. The C's have a decisive lead heading toward the fourth quarter, so it's certainly possible Porzingis won't be back on Monday night. If that's the case,
Luke Kornet and
Al Horford should handle things underneath the basket the rest of the way.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday against Charlotte. The veteran missed eight straight games in February and March because of an illness. He also sat out four more contests since returning for the March 15 win over the Brooklyn Nets. With that said, the Celtics have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference heading toward the playoffs, so Sunday's result won't matter.
Al Horford (knee) also won't suit up, meaning
Luke Kornet, who had 14 points, three boards, one steal, and one block in his last start, should return to the starting lineup.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Magic. He had a team-high 34 points in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks. But with Boston having already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Porzingis will get the night off.
Al Horford (knee) also won't play, meaning
Luke Kornet may get the start, with the 29-year-old averaging 9.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 14 starts this season.
Xavier Tillman Sr. may also see extended minutes, considering
Jayson Tatum (ankle) also won't be on the floor.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Knicks, his former team. The 29-year-old has battled an illness for a large portion of the 2024-25 campaign. However, it most recently kept him off the floor for Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards.
Luke Kornet got the start, finishing with 13 points and 14 rebounds. With
Al Horford (knee) already ruled out, Kornet should get more minutes than usual. However, Kornet's fantasy ceiling will increase even more if Porzingis can't suit up.
