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.

2 weeks agoAccording to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/center
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.
