Celtics' Luke Kornet: Scores 19 points vs. Charlotte
Luke Kornet finished with 19 points (6-6 FG, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Hornets.Kornet was in the Boston Celtics' starting lineup for a second straight game Saturday as Jaylen Brown was sidelined with a hip injury. Kornet used his size advantage effectively against the Hornets to score a season-high 19 points, which was his highest scoring output in the regular season since Dec. 29 against the Raptors (20). Kornet will go back to the bench once Brown returns from his injury, but the former should see some starts during the regular season on back-to-backs, as Horford will typically rest in one of those contests.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Quiet in spot start
Luke Kornet totaled five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 124-109 win over the Hornets.Kornet shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Al Horford who was resting on the first night of a back-to-back. Despite starting, Kornet failed to produce anything of note, other than his three combined steals and blocks. Based on this performance and what we have seen from Kornet thus far, he is not someone who needs to be prioritized in fantasy, even when Horford is resting on the sideline.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Plays 16 minutes in win
Luke Kornet produced four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 win over the Wizards.Kornet has now played 31 total minutes over the first two games of the season. With Kristaps Porzingis out until early December and 38-year-old Al Horford needing rest, expect Kornet, Xavier Tillman and Neemias Queta to see decent minutes over the next few weeks. The issue is, though, that reserve minutes will probably be split equally between those the three backups. Boston has its first back-to-back to begin November. Expect Kornet, Tillman and Queta to receive an extra minutes boost at that time.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Another strong performance
Luke Kornet amassed 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over the 76ers.Kornet continues to play well as the fill-in starter, flirting with a double-double in just 18 minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) slated to miss up to two months of action and Al Horford dealing with age limitations, Kornet could be an intriguing streaming consideration, even in standard formats. Whenever Horford is given the night off, Kornet's familiarity with the offense and fantasy-friendly skill set could make him worth a pick up for short stretches.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Active in preseason opener
Luke Kornet scored six points (3-5 FG) while adding 11 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 22 minutes in Friday's 107-103 preseason win over the Nuggets.The big man was tied for the team lead in the plus/minus department with plus-12, and he made his presence felt on both ends of the court, particularly as a rebounding threat and a passing option in the post. Al Horford will open the season as the starting center while Kristaps Porzingis (foot) works on his recovery, but don't rule out Kornet emerging as a realistic option for the backup role ahead of other options such as Xavier Tillman and Neemias Queta.
