Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Hits for 22 in win
Kristaps Porzingis recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls.The veteran big man continues to have trouble staying healthy -- it's been Porzingis' heel that's been bothering him of late, limiting him to 11 minutes in a Dec. 15 contest against the Wizards -- but when he's been on the court, he's been his usual productive self. He's scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 19.9 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Season-high 36 minutes Thursday
Kristaps Porzingis provided 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three blocks over 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.Porzingis made his usual impact on the boards and in the scoring column while also blocking a game-high three shots, but it wasn't his best night shooting the ball. The All-Star big man is now averaging an efficient 19.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game through eight appearances so far this year. Perhaps Thursday's most important takeaway is that Porzingis played a season-high 36 minutes, which is an encouraging sign for the Boston Celtics and fantasy managers as the center becomes further removed from offseason foot surgery this past summer.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Leaves early with heel injury
Kristaps Porzingis didn't return to Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards after exiting in the second quarter with right heel pain.Porzingis turned in 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes before leaving the contest. The Boston Celtics didn't provide an update on Porzingis' status following the game, but it's worth noting that the big man's heel injury isn't an aggravation of the left foot/ankle that required offseason surgery and cost him the first 17 games of the season. For now, Porzingis can be viewed as day-to-day leading up to the Celtics' next game Thursday versus the Bulls.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Solid all-around line in win
Kristaps Porzingis logged 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 win over Detroit.It wasn't the most efficient night from downtown for Porzingis, but he filled the box score and nearly secured a double-double for a Boston Celtics team that was without superstar Jayson Tatum (knee) on Thursday. In seven appearances with Tatum sidelined dating back to last season, Porzingis is now averaging 19.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 3.0 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers per game If Tatum remains unavailable for Sunday's contest against a Wizards club giving up the most points per game (123.8) in the league this year, Porzingis will likely experience an uptick in usage and handle a more pronounced role on offense for Boston once again.
