BLAKE GRIFFIN NEWS

Unproductive in spot start Griffin finished with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 22 minutes during Monday's 140-105 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Griffin slid into the starting lineup with Al Horford (back) sidelined but failed to produce anything of note. This has basically been the story all season long, with Griffin offering very little in his limited minutes thus far. While he does provide the team with a solid veteran piece off the bench, he is well beyond being a fantasy contributor, no matter the format.

Impact Al Horford (back) is out, and Griffin is getting his first start of the year. He hasn't played more than 12 minutes in a game this season, though, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from the veteran. In 35 total minutes, he's racked up 10 points, 11 boards, three assists and two steals.

Unassuming performance Friday Griffin managed just six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 11 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Toronto.

Impact Griffin joined the Celtics less than a month ago, coming in as a veteran piece off the bench. While he could feature in the rotation on a nightly basis, he is simply too fragile to play more than about 15 minutes per night. Obviously, his fantasy days are well behind him and there is no reason to think that will change moving forward.

Making preseason debut Friday Griffin (coach's decision) indicated Friday that he'll play in the evening's preseason game against the Hornets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Despite being listed as available, Griffin didn't appear in Wednesday's preseason contest against the Raptors. Still, it sounds like he's expecting to play roughly 10 minutes in his debut with the Celtics on Friday. The veteran had the worst statistical output of his career last season with the Nets, appearing in 56 games while averaging 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.1 minutes per contest. With Robert Williams (knee) not expected back until late November at the earliest, Griffin should have a role in Boston's frontcourt rotation during the early portion of the regular season.

Doesn't play Wednesday Griffin (coach's decision) was on the bench for Wednesday's preseason loss to the Raptors but didn't record any minutes.

Impact Griffin was deemed available for the contest shortly before tipoff, but he didn't see any action Wednesday after just signing with the team last week. It's unclear if Griffin will play in Friday's preseason tilt against the Hornets, but even if he's available, it's unlikely he sees significant minutes right away.
