Kristaps Porzingis Will Play Wednesday, Has No Minutes Cap
Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is a full go for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, as he will not face any minutes restriction despite battling a sprained right ankle. Porzingis had a dominant seven-game stretch in which he averaged 26 points and 9.3 boards from Nov. 10-23, showcasing his fantasy upside when healthy. His presence among the starting five stands to keep other Mavericks at their traditional usage level. While his scoring (19.6) and rebounding (7.9) averages are down early in the year, Porzingis remains a must-start fantasy cog whenever active.

Kristaps Porzingis Out Versus Charlotte
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 Won't Face Orlando
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 On The Injury Report For Tuesday
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.

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out On Wednesday
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. A mysterious illness caused Porzingis to miss a couple of weeks at the beginning of last month, and he is still coping with its effects, which led him to miss another game Wednesday night. Al Horford (toe) is also out for the contest, so Luke Kornet will have a hectic night in the frontcourt. Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. will likely provide cover at center.
