Boston Celtics center 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.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The big man is in danger of missing his third straight contest due to a hamstring issue. His absence won't mean too much for the Celtics rotation given the fact Kornet has only been playing minutes in the teens this season. Al Horford and Neemias Queta will see more minutes in the rotation if Kornet continues to sit. Horford is the better streaming option between the two of them due to his defensive ability.

Al Horford (illness) is also unavailable, but Kristaps Porzingis (foot) has been cleared to make his season debut.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring issue and has been listed as doubtful for the team's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Al Horford (illness) has also been deemed doubtful, so that leaves Kristaps Porzingis (foot) who has been listed as probable to make his season debut, along with Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. Porzingis could be on a minutes restriction, so Queta could serve as a solid streaming option in deeper leagues.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kornet wasn't on the injury report, but is now a late scratch due to a hamstring issue. The loss of Kornet won't mean too much with Al Horford (illness) returning on Sunday. The loss of Kornet should mean more minutes for Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. in the rotation. Neither are ideal streaming options but Queta could be worth a look due to his rebounding.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. He wasn't available for Friday's overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets because of a hamstring strain, resulting in Xavier Tillman Sr. getting the start. However, Tillman hasn't been productive all season, so fantasy managers should keep him out of their lineups. Instead, Neemias Queta, averaging 6.3 points and 5.6 boards, has streaming potential in deep fantasy setups if Kornet doesn't play.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) won't play on Friday versus the Nets. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) sidelined, Kornet has been getting some work from off the bench for the C's. However, he injured his hamstring in Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors and will now miss his first contest of the 2024-25 campaign. Al Horford will handle things in the middle. But there's room for Xavier Tillman Sr. to get more involved, although fantasy managers will be taking a risk by putting him in the starting lineup.
Boston Celtics general manager Brad Stevens said on Tuesday that center Luke Kornet had offseason wrist surgery, but he's 100 percent heading into training camp, per Jared Weiss of The Athletic. Kornet will likely see an uptick in early-season minutes with Kristaps Porzingis (foot) sidelined. In the 2023-24 regular season, the big man suited up for 63 contests and logged averages of 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per game.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Indiana Pacers. He injured his wrist in Game 2 and wasn't available for Saturday's comeback win. However, with the Celtics just one win away from the NBA Finals, the team could play it safe by keeping him off the floor. With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) already ruled out, Al Horford would continue operating as the starting center, with Xavier Tillman Sr. in line to get more work. Unfortunately, Tillman hasn't done much this postseason, so DFS managers shouldn't consider him for their lineups.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) won't play on Saturday night against the Pacers. He sprained his left wrist in Game 2 and didn't return. With that said, Kornet has gotten more minutes with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out of the lineup. However, while that still hasn't made him an adequate DFS option, his absence could open up more minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser, with the C's likely to go small when Al Horford is on the bench.
