Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Rough night in Game 3 loss
Porzingis registered seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 95-93 loss to Orlando in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Porzingis struggled again Friday, turning in another poor performance. Despite a double-double in Game 2, Porzingis has been largely underwhelming thus far, especially on the offensive end. Boston still leads the series 2-1 but will be hoping for an improved performance on the part of Porzingis when the two teams meet again Sunday.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Records double-double in win
Porzingis finished with 20 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-14 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 victory over Orlando in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Despite suffering a gash on his forehead that required stitches during the game, Porzingis made a considerable impact on both ends of the floor. The veteran big man stepped up while Jayson Tatum (wrist) is the mend, as the former lived at the free-throw line. The veteran scorer hit 10 of a game-high 14 attempts from the charity stripe, which gave the defending NBA champions a big boost, resulting in the team taking a commanding 2-0 lead ahead of the series shifting to Orlando for the next two games.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Four swipes in Game 1 win
Porzingis ended Sunday's 103-86 win over Orlando in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with five points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 26 minutes.
Porzingis had a rough shooting night in Game 1 against Orlando, going 1-for-8 from the field. However, the veteran scorer was able to impact the game in other areas, as he recorded a game-high four steals to go along with six rebounds. Fortunately for Boston, the Celtics were able to secure a 17-point win to take a 1-0 series lead despite Porzingis' lack of production offensively.

Porzingis (rest) is expected to play in the postseason.
With the No. 2 seed locked up, Porzingis missed the regular-season finale for rest purposes. The big man's 42 regular-season appearances were a career-low mark, and he averaged fewer than 20 points per game for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Not playing Sunday
Porzingis (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Porzingis and the rest of the Celtics' top players will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale as Boston looks to embark on yet another deep postseason run. Porzingis missed the first 17 games of the season while recovering from offseason surgery on his left foot and ankle area, and he missed additional time due to a viral infection in mid-March. The 2015 first-round pick will finish his second regular season in Boston, averaging 19.6 points on 48.3 percent shooting (including a career-best 41.2 percent from three on 6.0 3PA/G), 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game across 42 starts.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Won't play Wednesday
Porzingis (rest) will not play Wednesday against Orlando, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Derrick White (ankle), Jayson Tatum (ankle), Al Horford (knee) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are all being held out as well, while Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Tuesday's 119-117 overtime victory over New York, Porzingis finished with 34 points (11-19 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Ties season high with 34 points
Porzingis supplied a team-high 34 points (11-19 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 overtime victory over New York.
After missing two of the prior four games while fighting off the effects of an illness, Porzingis looked 100 percent healthy as he matched his season highs in points and made threes -- he hit both numbers against the Bulls on Jan. 29. The 29-year-old center has had his usual trouble staying in the lineup this season, and in 12 appearances since the All-Star break he's averaging 20.3 points, 6.3 boards, 2.6 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Questionable with illness
Porzingis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
After sitting out Sunday's game against the Wizards, Porzingis remains in jeopardy of missing another contest against New York. With Al Horford (toe) already ruled out ahead of Wednesday's back-to-back game against Orlando, the Celtics could turn to Luke Kornet for a spot start down low. Kornet has averaged 9.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.7 minutes through 14 games as a starter this season.

Porzingis didn't return to Friday's 123-103 win over the Suns after suffering a nasal laceration in the fourth quarter.
Porzingis exited to the locker room with 11:32 remaining in the final quarter and required stitches after taking an elbow to the nose from an opposing player. He finished with 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes. The Celtics labeled the center as questionable to return after he returned to the bench after getting stitched back up, but he didn't check back into the game while the Celtics held a comfortable lead. He'll have another day to heal up before Boston returns to action Sunday against Washington.

With just a few minutes remaining in the game and the Celtics holding down a comfortable lead, Porzingis' night is most likely over. He produced 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes before checking out of the contest with 11:32 remaining in the fourth quarter after taking a blow to the face.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Sitting Wednesday
Porzingis has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to return-from-illness reconditioning, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Porzingis played in seven of the Celtics' last eight games after returning from an extended absence due to a viral infection, and he averaged 21.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.3 minutes per contest over that span. He'll take a seat Wednesday as he continues to work on his conditioning, but he should be available to play against the Suns on Friday. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) both out, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should see the bulk of the big man minutes against Miami. However, Xavier Tillman could see some time in the rotation after starting Monday against the Grizzlies.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Questionable for Wednesday
Porzingis is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami due to return-from-illness reconditioning, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
The superstar big man recently faced an extended absence with a viral illness, and the Celtics continue to monitor his workload ahead of the playoffs. Al Horford (toe) is doubtful to play Wednesday, therefore Luke Kornet (illness), who is set to return against the Heat, could be needed to make a spot start down low if Boston holds Porzingis out.
