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.

Kornet logged 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 121-111 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The 16 boards were a season high for Kornet, who hadn't pulled down double-digit rebounds in a game since he made a spot start Feb. 8 against the Knicks. The 29-year-old center's role on the second unit makes him an unreliable fantasy option, but he's been a little more consistent of late, scoring in double digits in four of the last seven contests while averaging 8.3 points, 7.3 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 21.1 minutes and shooting 73.0 percent from the floor.

Kornet racked up 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 victory over Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sat this game out for Boston, and Kornet was able to snap out of his slump as a result -- Kornet scored a total of five points across 29 minutes of his previous two outings. With Al Horford likely to rest Monday against the Kings, Kornet could see a healthy workload in that contest.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jaylen Brown (knee) out Friday, head coach Joe Mazulla has opted to go with a big starting frontcourt of Kornet, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum. It marks the fifth time Kornet will be in the starting five over Boston's last seven games. Kornet has averaged 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks over 21.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Kornet is not in Boston's starting lineup against Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet has started in four of the Celtics' last five games and has averaged 6.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over 25.4 minutes per game over that span. He'll come off the bench Wednesday due to the return of Al Horford (toe), but Kornet should still see prominent playing time due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness).

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Jazz on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet will make his fourth start since the beginning of March due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe). Kornet has averaged 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 23.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.

EDGE Analysis
Kornet has started in the Celtics' last three games and has averaged 6.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks over 28.7 minutes per contest. He'll come off the bench Saturday while Al Horford enters the starting lineup, but Kornet should still see some meaningful minutes off the bench due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being sidelined.
