Kristaps Porzingis Not Expected To Play On Friday
Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been tagged as doubtful for their Friday night matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He's listed with left calf injury management, so it seems as though this will just be a rest day of sorts. At the same time, four of the starting five are listed as questionable or doubtful and Al Horford (rest) will also sit this one out. Fantasy managers who are depending on Porzingis should get their backup plan ready because it would be surprising if he ended up getting upgraded to active. Since he and Horford will both likely be out, Neemias Queta would probably move into the starting lineup while Luke Kornet gets some minutes off of the bench.

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.
