Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday’s game against the Detroit Pistons.
What this means:
Porzingis (hamstring) is expected to return from a five-game absence. Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out for the Celtics’ back-to-back homecoming game, so there will be additional minutes available in the frontcourt, but Porzingis could be on restriction after the multi-game layoff.
numberFire models project KP for 30.8 minutes and 38.2 FanDuel points on Monday. According to NumberFire’s NBA Heat Map, the Celtics have the highest implied total (119.0) out of 10 teams on the main roster today.
