Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) sidelined again Tuesday for Celtics
Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is out again for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
The Celtics have ruled out Porzingis (hamstring), Al Horford (toe), and Jaylen Brown (back) for the second leg of their back-to-back. Luke Kornet should see plenty of minutes at center again, with Oshae Brissett, Xavier Tillman, and Neemias Queta also available to help fill the void.
Kornet played 21.1 minutes and scored 20.0 FanDuel points last game. He has a $4,400 salary on Tuesday's Main slate, and per our NBA Heat Map, the Celtics' implied total (118.75) is second-best out of 14 active teams today.
