Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Game 2
Tillman (personal) is questionable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Thursday, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman missed the Celtics' 133-128 overtime win in Game 1 due to the personal matter. While he could rejoin the Celtics in advance of Thursday's contest, his presence -- or lack thereof -- shouldn't have a major impact on head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation. Tillman has appeared in just three games all postseason -- all in blowouts -- as Al Horford and Luke Kornet have covered most of the minutes at center while Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been sidelined for each of the Celtics' last seven contests.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't be available for Game 1
Tillman (personal) has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Tuesday.
Tillman will join Kristaps Porzingis (calf) as unavailable, but the former's absence shouldn't impact Boston's rotation, as he's appeared in just three of Boston's first 10 postseason contests. Al Horford and Luke Kornet should continue to handle all meaningful minutes at center in Game 1.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Game 1
Tillman is questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Pacers due to personal reasons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation during the playoffs, appearing in just three matchups and averaging 1.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game. While it's unclear whether he'll be available to begin the Eastern Conference Finals, his status shouldn't significantly impact the rotation.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Moves back to bench role
Tillman is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
As expected, Tillman returns to the bench with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) in the starting unit. Tillman has averaged 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds across 15.9 minutes per game when playing off the bench this season.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Thursday
Tillman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to right knee tendon irritation, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman is being listed as questionable for the first game of a back-to-back set, along with Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), so the Celtics could be very thin up front Thursday night. If all these guys are out, Luke Kornet and Oshae Brissett could be forced into major minutes. Check back for another update on Tillman following Thursday's shootaround.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Starting vs. Milwaukee
Tillman is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman will move to the starting lineup Tuesday and anchor the frontcourt in a game where Boston will miss Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring). Tillman is averaging 7.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game as a starter this season, though it'll be only his second one in a Boston uniform.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Thursday
Tillman (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Tillman is in danger of missing a second straight game due to a swollen left knee. If he's sidelined again, Luke Kornet and Oshae Brissett would be candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Ruled out for Monday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman appeared in the last seven games but will be unavailable Monday due to his knee injury. He'll have a few days to rest before Thursday's rematch against Atlanta, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return by then.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Monday
Tillman is questionable Monday against Atlanta due to left knee swelling, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Left knee issues have plagued Tillman throughout this season, so a resurfacing of the injury designation is notable. He logged just 11 minutes in Saturday's win over Chicago after averaging 18.5 minutes across six prior appearances, so his status for Monday's game is murky.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Coming off bench
Tillman will return to a reserve role in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Tillman will come off the bench in favor of Luke Kornet. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 16.2 minutes in 30 games as a reserve this season.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Joins starting lineup
Tillman is starting Friday's game against the Pistons, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Tillman is set to make his first start as a member of the Celtics due to the absence of Al Horford (toe) and Jayson Tatum (ankle). The Michigan State product has logged double-digit minutes off the bench in five straight matchups, averaging 3.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists over that stretch.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Grabs eight boards in win
Tillman amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 123-107 road win over the Jazz.
Tillman's 27 minutes of run were driven by the absence of both Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe). Still, Tillman produced solid numbers off the bench, which led to a plus-14 point differential rating. Since Boston acquired Tillman at the deadline, minutes have been erratic for both Tillman and Luke Kornet. But both were able to shine in this last contest of a five-game road trip. Expect Tillman's minutes to decrease Thursday when the Celtics return home to face the Suns.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Carving out bench role
Tillman had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 loss to Denver.
Tillman has played double-digit minutes in three of Boston's last four contests after being out of the rotation to start his Celtics tenure. His lack of playing time early on with the Celtics may have been due to a knee injury, but now that he's 100 percent healthy, the veteran forward appears to have surpassed Luke Kornet in Boston's rotation. While Tillman has carved out a bench role, he's not playing enough to warrant attention in fantasy.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Gets light run in blowout
Tillman (knee) tallied two points (1-1 FG) and one block in three minutes Thursday in the Celtics' 129-112 win over the Bulls.
Tillman made his Celtics debut Thursday after he hadn't been available since being acquired from the Grizzlies on Feb. 7 while he continued to recover from a left knee injury. He found himself outside of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation, however, as Tillman didn't check into the game until 2:33 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics were up by 18 points. Tillman looks like he'll need at least one or two of Boston's regular rotation players to be out for a given game in order to play meaningful minutes.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Available for Thursday's game
Tillman (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman has been dealing with a left knee injury in recent weeks and hasn't yet been able to make his debut for the Celtics after being traded from Memphis to Boston in early February. However, he'll be able to suit up as the Celtics resume play following the All-Star break. The 25-year-old should compete with Luke Kornet for reserve center minutes now that he's healthy.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't play Tuesday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman was traded from the Grizzlies to the Celtics on Wednesday but hasn't yet been able to make his team debut due to his knee injury. It wouldn't be surprising to see him remain sidelined for Wednesday's rematch against the Nets to give him additional time to rest before the All-Star break.
