Questionable versus Clippers Griffin is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers with a non-COVID illness.
Impact Griffin's potential absence is unlikely to affect the Celtics' rotation, as he has only played in one of the last team's last five games. If the veteran big man is ruled out Thursday, his next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Impact Al Horford (personal) and Robert Williams (knee) are both expected to be available Friday, which will likely relegate Griffin to a marginal role off the bench.

Comes close to double-double Griffin registered 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 116-110 win over the Raptors.
Impact Griffin got the start Monday due to the absence of Al Horford (back) and made the most of the opportunity, ending just two rebounds shy from posting a double-double and looking extremely efficient on offense. Horford is fully entrenched as the Celtics' starting center, however, and the only way Griffin would have some fantasy value is if he's forced to start several games in a row. Expect Griffin to be in contention for a start Wednesday at Phoenix if Horford can't recover from the low back stiffness that forced him out Monday.

Impact With Al Horford (back) out of the lineup, Griffin will make his fourth start of the season. In his previous first three starts, Griffin has averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game. The Celtics are playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so chances are this will just be a one-game cameo for Griffin.
