Tristan Thompson Stats

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pectoral) has been cleared to get back into the mix Friday against the Bulls and will not have his minutes restricted. While Thompson missed Wednesday's game and started three of the team's four prior contests, he averaged just 24.7 minutes per outing. The absence of Robert Williams III (toe) paves the way for Thompson to log as many minutes as he can, beginning Friday. While the center has just one double-double to his credit since Feb. 24, both his matchup against Nikola Vucevic and his unabated minutes allotment put him in play in both the DFS and season-long streamer market.

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pec) will likely play on Friday night against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran didn't suit up against Orlando on Wednesday night due to a left pectoral issue, but luckily, his absence may be short-lived. With Robert Williams III (toe) questionable, Thompson could end up logging extra minutes in the middle, with the 30-year-old averaging 8.3 points and 8.3 boards as a starter this season.

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He recently moved into the starting five, but that stint could be short lived. His absence would mean an immediate boost for Robert Williams. He'd see all the minutes he can handle at center, which would make him a popular fantasy option.

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran center will get the starting nod over Robert Williams. This is likely a matchup move by head coach Brad Stevens, so expect both players to get plenty of minutes. Williams remains the better fantasy option between the two even with Thompson getting the start.
