Kristaps Porzingis Iffy Against Charlotte
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable due to right hamstring injury management. This has been a trend for the Celtics against weaker opponents.

Read More
Jonathan Kuminga Downgraded To Out On Friday
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Friday and will not play against the Charlotte Hornets.
