According to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, Boston Celtics forward/center
Xavier Tillman Sr. (illness) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday due to an illness. Tillman's absence shouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation, as he's averaged just 8.6 minutes across 17 games so far in this year's campaign. With Tillman and
Sam Hauser (back) both out, players like
Neemias Queta and
Jordan Walsh could soak up a few extra minutes on Thursday.

Per Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Boston Celtics general manager Brad Stevens said Tuesday that forward/center
Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) had a knee scope during the offseason, but he will be a full-go for training camp. With
Kristaps Porzingis (foot) out to start the season, the 25-year-old will have a chance for early-season minutes. During 20 regular-season contests last year, Tillman averaged 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 13.7 minutes.

Boston Celtics forward/center
Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) is questionable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. He wasn't available for the overtime win on Monday night. However, the 25-year-old has logged just eight minutes throughout the postseason, averaging 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, meaning he likely wouldn't have received much (if any) work. That likely won't change, considering there's a chance
Kristaps Porzingis (calf) will be back for Game 4 on Monday. In the meantime,
Al Horford will hold things down in the middle, keeping him on the DFS radar, with
Luke Kornet coming in off the bench.

On Tuesday, Boston Celtics forward
Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) was ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. Both Tillman and
Kristaps Porzingis (calf) are listed as unavailable. The 25-year-old's absence won't impact DFS play, as he has only seen action in three of 10 Celtics' postseason games, averaging 1.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.7 steals in 8.3 minutes per contest.
