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. 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.

Kornet finished Wednesday's 130-120 victory over the Pistons with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes. Kornet played at least 20 minutes for the second straight game, coming within a whisker of his first double-double of the season. Despite being the third-string center in Boston, injuries and rest for his teammates often afford Kornet additional playing time, much like in this performance. Whenever one of either Kristaps Porzingis or Al Horford is given the night off, Kornet should be at the top of the list of beneficiaries.

Kornet isn't part of the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports. Kornet drew a start Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, with the Celtics frontcourt healthy, Kornet will rejoin the reserves. He swatted six shots in 27 minutes during the start.

Kornet produced six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat. Making his third start of the season, Kornet swatted a season-high six shots while filling in at center for the resting Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the second night of a back-to-back set. Kornet did a fine job defending Bam Adebayo, who went just 6-for-18 from the field for the Heat. Kornet doesn't necessarily have a defined role in Boston's rotation on a nightly basis, but he's been effective in 10 appearances as a starter since 2023-24, averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 74.6 percent from the floor during this period dating back to last season. The 29-year-old veteran big man is a worthy plug-and-play option for fantasy managers on occasions that he joins the first unit, which is something to watch out for when the Celtics play back-to-back games once again Friday against the Bucks and Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting five for Monday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Kornet will make his third start of the 2024-25 campaign Monday due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Horford (rest/toe), which means Neemias Queta should see increased minutes off the bench. In his last start, Kornet logged 19 points, four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes against the Hornets on Nov. 2.
