Griffin (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin will return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a non-COVID illness. However, the veteran big man has played in one only contest since Robert Williams returned from injury.

Griffin (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin was a late addition to the injury report due to his illness, and he'll be unable to suit up against the Clippers. His absence shouldn't significantly impact the Celtics' rotation.

Griffin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin's potential absence is unlikely to affect the Celtics' rotation, as he has only played in one of the last team's last five games. If the veteran big man is ruled out Thursday, his next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Griffin will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against the Magic, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Al Horford (personal) and Robert Williams (knee) are both expected to be available Friday, which will likely relegate Griffin to a marginal role off the bench. Horford and Williams figure to be limited while they regain their conditioning, but Griffin's time as a regular member of Boston's rotation is likely at end soon.

Griffin registered 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 116-110 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin got the start Monday due to the absence of Al Horford (back) and made the most of the opportunity, ending just two rebounds shy from posting a double-double and looking extremely efficient on offense. Horford is fully entrenched as the Celtics' starting center, however, and the only way Griffin would have some fantasy value is if he's forced to start several games in a row. Expect Griffin to be in contention for a start Wednesday at Phoenix if Horford can't recover from the low back stiffness that forced him out Monday.

Griffin will start Monday's contest against Toronto, Celtics play-by-play voice Sean Grande reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Al Horford (back) out of the lineup, Griffin will make his fourth start of the season. In his previous first three starts, Griffin has averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game. The Celtics are playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so chances are this will just be a one-game cameo for Griffin. Expect Horford to return to the starting five for Wednesday's showdown with the Suns in Phoenix.

Griffin finished with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Monday's 140-105 victory over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin slid into the starting lineup with Al Horford (back) sidelined but failed to produce anything of note. This has basically been the story all season long, with Griffin offering very little in his limited minutes thus far. While he does provide the team with a solid veteran piece off the bench, he is well beyond being a fantasy contributor, no matter the format.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin isn't starting Monday's game against the Thunder, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin filled in for Al Horford (back) on Saturday against the Pistons, but he'll head back to a reserve role with Horford cleared to return. Griffin is averaging 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in four games off the bench this season.

Griffin will start Saturday's game at Detroit, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Al Horford (back) out, Griffin will get the nod at center. In his previous start, he played 15 minutes and posted seven points, two assists and one rebound. Noah Vonleh and Luke Kornet should also see increased run at center.
