Kornet won't start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet picked up a spot start Monday due to Derrick White (leg) and Al Horford (toe) being sidelined. Although Horford remains out Wednesday, White is healthy and will take Kornet's spot in the first unit.

Kornet totaled 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
This was a terrific showing for Kornet as he picked up the start due to Derrick White (leg) being unavailable. Al Horford (toe) was expected to play but was ultimately a late scratch that went unreported by Boston. Kornet has fared well as a fill-in starter this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 blocks in six games.

Kornet will start in Monday's matchup against the Rockets, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The big man will receive his sixth start of the season with Al Horford coming off the bench Monday. Kornet has averaged 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.4 minutes per game over his five appearances in the starting lineup thus far.

Kornet posted two points (1-4 FG), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, serving as an above-average backup center. Although he remains clearly behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, Kornet has been able to make the most of his opportunities, typically as a result of either rest or injury to those around him. He should be able to maintain a 15-minute role moving forward, even more when Porzingis or Horford are sidelined.

Kornet will return to a bench role for the Celtics in Thursday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
After starting Wednesday's win against the Clippers, Kornet will assume his usual role off the bench. Boston is getting key players back for this matchup. The 29-year-old big man had a forgettable performance Wednesday, finishing with two points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block.

Kornet is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet will step into the first unit for the second time in three games, benefitting from the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe) on the first night of a back-to-back. In four starts this season, Kornet is averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 blocks across 28.0 minutes.

Kornet will start against the Hawks on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics will be without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) on the second leg of this back-to-back set, putting Kornet on the streaming radar. Kornet averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 blocks in three previous starts this season.

Kornet recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 boards, four assists, a steal and a block in 24 minutes of action during the 109-86 win over the Rockets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With Al Horford (rest) on the bench, Kornet did a little bit of everything in Friday's blowout victory, making his presence known in every facet of the game. Although he outplayed Neemias Queta and logged just four minutes less than starter Kristaps Porzingis, Kornet will likely struggle to find a real foothold in the clogged frontcourt once Horford returns.

Kornet amassed six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite losing to the Celtics on Christmas Day, Kornet had a solid performance, ripping down double-digit rebounds and helping Boston remain competitive after Kristaps Porzingis went down with an injury against Philadelphia. Kornet could see a bump in minutes if Porzingis misses time with the ankle injury.

Kornet registered seven points (1-3 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
With Al Horford getting the night off for rest and Kristaps Porzingis (heel) leaving early, Kornet saw extended run. That's likely to happen often this season, so fantasy managers should keep Kornet in mind as a streaming option the next time that Horford sits.
