Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet will make his 15th start of the season (and eighth since the beginning of March) due to Al Horford (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) both being ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Kornet has averaged 11.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Kornet isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kristaps Porzingis will reclaim his starting spot from Kornet after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. Kornet has averaged 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Kornet posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Jayson Tatum did not play Sunday against Washington due to a sprained left ankle, allowing Kornet to start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. The Celtics have the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up heading into the final week of the regular season, and Kornet could see ample playing time if the Celtics rest their key players.

Kornet will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined, Kornet and Al Horford will start in the frontcourt. As a starter this season, Kornet has averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 blocks and 0.9 steals in 27.9 minutes per game.

Kornet is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics are mostly healthy for this matchup against the Suns, so Kornet will return to his regular role as a depth option in the frontcourt. Kristaps Porzingis will start in this game, and Al Horford will also be available off the bench, so Kornet isn't expected to see many minutes.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics will be shorthanded in the frontcourt due to the absences of Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), so Kornet will get the start at center. The big man is averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in his previous 12 starts this season.

Kornet (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet missed Monday's tilt against Memphis due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Wednesday. With Kristaps Porzingis (reconditioning) questionable and Al Horford (toe) doubtful to play against the Heat, Kornet may be asked to make a spot start in the middle. Kornet averaged 7.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 22.2 minutes through 14 games last month.

Kornet (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet will miss his first game since Feb. 26 due to an illness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami. Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Kornet being sidelined.

Kornet (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet was a late addition to the injury report after presumably waking up under the weather. If Kornet is unable to give it a go, it's possible Neemias Queta gets an opportunity to pick up some backup center minutes.
