Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Sitting Wednesday
Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Porzingis was a late add to Wednesday's injury report due to illness, and he'll be unavailable for the Celtics as they take on the Clippers for the first leg of a back-to-back set. With Al Horford (toe) also sidelined, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should see plenty of action. Porzingis' next chance to play will come Thursday against the Lakers.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Porzingis was a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his status. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and Porzingis will likely play in just one of these games at best. Al Horford (toe) is also questionable, so Luke Kornet could be on the streaming radar for this back-to-back.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Won't play vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Porzingis (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
After dropping 23 points in 23 minutes in Friday's game against the Magic, Porzingis won't play in Saturday's game against Trae Young and company. The veteran big man seems to be back to form at this point in the season and will be missed by the Celtics when they take on a talented Hawks squad. Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta could see more time on the floor Saturday, especially with Al Horford (toe) also ruled out for this game.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Porzingis finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 3Pt), eight boards, three assists, two blocks and a steal through 35 minutes in Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.
Prior to Wednesday's contest, the veteran big man had logged three straight double-doubles. Against the Raptors, he narrowly missed out on what would've been his fourth but contributed on the defensive side of the ball as well to round out a nice showing from a fantasy perspective. He's back in action Friday against the Magic.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Displays two-way play in win
Rotowire
Porzingis ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.
Porzingis had a strong outing Sunday, getting it done on both ends of the floor while finishing as one of two players with a double-double. Porzingis led all Celtics in blocks while recording team-high-tying marks in threes made and rebounds in a winning effort. Porzingis matched his season high in rebounds, which he'd originally established Tuesday against Denver. All three of Porzingis' double-doubles this season have transpired within the last three games.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Takes advantage inside during win
Rotowire
Porzingis posted 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 victory over Denver.
Nikola Jokic's (illness) absence left the door wide open for Porzingis to dominate the paint, and he finished with his first double-double of the season. While it's surprising to note that Porzingis was without a double-double this season before Tuesday's game, the big man's attendance record hasn't helped his bottom line. He's missed a total of 23 games and is still dealing with a lingering ankle injury.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Nears double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Porzingis racked up 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 loss to Oklahoma City.
The big man came one rebound shy of a double-double while scoring the club's third-highest mark in points behind Jayson Tatum (26 points) and Jaylen Brown (21 points). However, Porzingis was inefficient from beyond the arc Sunday, and he is on pace to shoot only 32.9 percent from downtown this season, which would be his second-lowest mark from three-point range over his nine-year career. The Celtics continue to manage Porzingis' playing time following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury, though he'll likely see a slight bump in minutes during his third outing back in another marquee matchup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Rotowire
Porzingis (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Rockets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Porzingis has been sidelined for Boston's last four games due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Philadelphia on Christmas Day. He started in eight of the Celtics' nine games prior to his injury, and over that span he averaged 17.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 blocks over 27.4 minutes per game. Porzingis should be in the starting lineup for Friday's game due to Al Horford (rest) sitting for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set.
