    • Available to play
      Porzingis (lower leg) is available to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation, Porzingis was able to warm up without any setbacks and will play through his questionable tag Friday evening. However, coach Joe Mazulla admitted that Porzingis isn't close to 100 percent and that the Celtics will use him sparingly and only if necessary. Rotowire.com Today, 4:12 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) available for Game 4 Fri.
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) is available for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: After injuring his left leg during the third quarter of Game 2, Porzingis sat out Wednesday’s Game 3 victory. While his return given the Celtics another option in the frontcourt, DFS players should steer clear. During his pregame availability, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said he would only use Porzingis in “very specific instances.” Mazzulla did not clarify those situations, but it does not appear that Porzingis will reach his Game 2 threshold of 20-25 minutes. Look for Al Horford to continue to play most of the minutes at center. Rotoworld Today, 4:07 pm
       
    • Warming up Friday
      Porzingis (lower leg) was out on the court warming up ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks on Friday.

      Advice: Porzingis is still officially listed as questionable Friday after missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While an official determination of Porzingis' status will likely be made closer to tipoff at 8:30 ET, he seems to be moving well, which bodes well for his availability moving forward in the series.

    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) questionable for Game 4
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis, who did not play in Wednesday’s Game 3 victory, did some individual work during Thursday’s practice in front of the media. He’s listed as questionable on Boston’s initial injury report for Game 4, with Al Horford and Xavier Tillman being the players most impacted by Porzingis’ availability. Horford, the starting center throughout, played 37 minutes on Wednesday, while Tillman was the only other big in the rotation. Tillman played 11 minutes, which isn’t enough time to impact DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:04 pm
       
    • Officially deemed questionable
      Porzingis (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Porzingis is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday after sitting out Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. However, Porzingis was seen going through shootaround Thursday, and it is a good sign that Boston hasn't ruled him out for the series. If Porzingis remains sidelined, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman will likely continue to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Goes through shootaround
      Porzingis (lower leg) was seen shooting around during Thursday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Celtics have yet to release an official injury report for Game 4 on Friday after Porzingis missed Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While it's still unclear if the 28-year-old big man will be able to suit up, it seems as though he will have at least a chance of playing again in the NBA Finals. If Porzingis is ultimately deemed available, he will likely continue to serve as Boston's backup center behind Al Horford. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:05 pm
       
    • Hopes to play in Game 4
      Coach Joe Mazzula said Thursday that Porzingis (lower leg) is getting better and "fighting hard" to play in Game 4 on Friday, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Porzingis didn't play in Game 3 due to a left posterior tibialis dislocation and is in danger of missing the remainder of the NBA Finals. However, if Porzingis is able to suit up, he will provide a big boost to Boston's frontcourt, as he averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 22.0 minutes across the first two games of the series.

    • Active on both ends in Game 3
      Horford registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 106-99 win over the Mavericks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Horford plays a secondary role in the Celtics' offensive scheme, though that's not surprising since he shares the court regularly with established superstars such as Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. However, the veteran big man does all the little things contending teams need to win games consistently, and he regularly finds a way to contribute. Though he's not much of a reliable fantasy option at this point of his career, Horford is averaging 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in the current NBA Finals.

    • Could miss rest of Finals
      The Celtics have "real doubt" that Porzingis (lower leg) will be able to return to action at any point during the NBA Finals matchup against the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski reported prior to Wednesday's Game 3 on ESPN's NBA Countdown.

      Advice: Porzingis was initially labeled questionable for Wednesday's game due to a left posterior tibialis dislocation but wasn't cleared by the Celtics' medical staff ahead of the contest. The 28-year-old voiced his willingness to do whatever it took to play leading up to Wednesday's tilt, but he may not be medically cleared to suit up before the series ends. Porzingis had missed 10 straight games before the NBA Finals with a calf strain that's unrelated to his lower leg injury, but he was a key contributor off the bench in the Celtics' Games 1 and 2 wins. Al Horford should continue to start at center while Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman and Oshae Brissett are candidates to see action behind Horford. Porzingis should be viewed as questionable, at best, leading up to Friday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:06 pm
