Celtics' Luke Kornet: Plays well off bench
Kornet racked up 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 victory over Portland.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sat this game out for Boston, and Kornet was able to snap out of his slump as a result -- Kornet scored a total of five points across 29 minutes of his previous two outings. With Al Horford likely to rest Monday against the Kings, Kornet could see a healthy workload in that contest.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Questionable against Cleveland
Kornet is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to personal reasons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Kornet has a chance to end a two-game absence Friday. If the big man doesn't rejoin the lineup, however, the Celtics may need Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman to handle the backup center role.

Kornet totaled 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.
This was a terrific showing for Kornet as he picked up the start due to Derrick White (leg) being unavailable. Al Horford (toe) was expected to play but was ultimately a late scratch that went unreported by Boston. Kornet has fared well as a fill-in starter this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 blocks in six games.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Grabs nine rebounds in win
Kornet posted two points (1-4 FG), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 win over Dallas.
Kornet grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, serving as an above-average backup center. Although he remains clearly behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, Kornet has been able to make the most of his opportunities, typically as a result of either rest or injury to those around him. He should be able to maintain a 15-minute role moving forward, even more when Porzingis or Horford are sidelined.
