    • Al Horford to start NBA Finals opener Thursday
      Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Al Horford will start Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Horford will remain in the starting lineup for Game 1 in a move that may surprise some. Kristaps Porzingis, who has been sidelined since injuring his calf during Game 3 of Boston’s first-round series against Miami, will come off the bench in his first game back. The last time Porzingis came off the bench in a game, regular season or playoffs: , as a member of the Knicks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:11 pm
       
    • Available for Game 1 of Finals
      Prosper (ankle) is available for Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals against the Celtics on Thursday.

      Advice: Prosper used the break between the Conference Finals and the NBA Finals to recover from his injury, and he's ready to step on the hardwood for the first time since April 21. He's logged just one minute this postseason, so he's not expected to play a prominent role in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:36 pm
       
    • Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) active Thursday
      Olivier-Maxence Prosper (left ankle sprain) is available for Thursday’s NBA Finals opener against Boston.

      Advice: Prosper has been sidelined since Game 1 of Dallas’ first-round series against the Clippers. The rookie wasn’t a consistent rotation member during the regular season, so there’s no need to consider O-Max for DFS lineups. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:36 pm
       
    • Won't have minutes restrictions
      Joe Mazulla said that Porzingis will not have any minutes restrictions in Game 1 versus the Mavericks on Thursday, Steven Bulpett of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Mazulla added that he hasn't yet decided if KP will start, but it sounds like Porzingis will be a full-go for Game 1 of the Finals. His return will result in fewer minutes for Xavier Tillman and Al Horford. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:11 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis won’t be restricted Thursday
      Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said that Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) will not be under any restrictions for Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis, who strained the soleus muscle in his right calf during Game 3 of the first round, was officially cleared to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday. Mazzulla revealing on Thursday afternoon that the 7-foot-3 post won’t be restricted should comfort DFS players who considered slotting Porzingis into their lineups. Al Horford drops to the bench, and his value will take a slight hit with Porzingis in the fold. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) questionable Thur.
      Olivier-Maxence Prosper (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Thursday’s NBA Finals opener against the Celtics.

      Advice: Prosper, a rookie who appeared in 40 regular season games, has been sidelined since Game 1 of Dallas’ first-round series against the Clippers. If available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, O-Max is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Upgraded to questionable
      Prosper (ankle) is questionable for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Boston on Thursday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Prosper has been ruled out ahead of every postseason game thus far, so his upgrade to questionable is noteworthy. While he's unlikely to play a significant role in the NBA Finals, the rookie could be another body to throw at Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, as Prosper's 6-foot-7 frame allows him to wreak havoc defensively.

    • Says he'll play Game 1 of Finals
      Porzingis (calf) said he will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Thursday, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: This has been the expectation for several days after Porzingis was able to take part in multiple scrimmages at Boston's recent practices. Per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, Porzingis said it's still "open" when it comes to what his conditioning level will be after being limited to light on-court work. Porzingis hasn't played since Game 4 of the opening-round matchup versus Miami and averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 30.3 minutes over the first three matchups of that series.

    • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) says he’ll play Thursday
      Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) says that he will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday against Dallas.

      Advice: This has been the expectation for a little while now, but now it is pretty much official. The Celtics will be back to full strength when it matters most. This will push Al Horford back to the bench, but he will still play a significant role in this series. Rotoworld Wednesday, 10:33 am
