Luke Kornet Shines With Triples And Steals
Luke Kornet had a very enjoyable afternoon in London on Thursday, scoring 16 points with four triples and picking up a career-high five steals. He also posted a new career-high with 34 minutes on the floor. Kornet shot 5-for-11 overall from the field and he finished 2-for-2 from the line. The 23-year-old has had many impressive performances this month after pushing Enes Kanter to the bench. He's combined 39 points in the last two games, although making it three good performances on the bounce will be very difficult as the Knicks play OKC next. The Thunder lead the league in defensive efficiency with a 103.6 rating.

Luke Kornet Questionable Against Cavs
Luke Kornet (personal) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kornet could miss his third consecutive contest due to personal reasons. The Celtics will lean on Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman Sr. to fill the backup center role if Kornet is sidelined. With the 29-year-old potentially out of action, fantasy managers' lineups won't be affected as he is not a major contributor in fantasy.

Luke Kornet Misses Tuesday's Game For Personal Reasons
Luke Kornet (personal) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. His run of consecutive appearances will come to an end at 34 games due to personal reasons. Al Horford (toe) is questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back, which means Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) may receive additional run-outs. They are also on the injury report but listed as probable for the contest. Queta has typically been productive when he logs at least 20 minutes in the rotation. During his last outing where Queta spent 20-plus minutes on the floor, he recorded 11 points, eight rebounds, one steal, and one block.

Luke Kornet Cleared To Face Chicago
Luke Kornet (hamstring) will play on Friday against Chicago. The big man has been battling a hamstring strain for a while. However, it won't keep him off the floor. But with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available, Kornet will have a tough time getting minutes, meaning fantasy managers need to keep him out of the starting lineup.
