Xavier Tillman Sr. Unable To Suit Up Thursday

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (illness) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday due to an illness.

Kristaps Porzingis Available Thursday

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is good to go for Thursday's matchup against Chicago.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) will return from a two-game absence on Thursday against Brooklyn. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available.
