Luke Kornet - Plays 16 minutes in winKornet produced four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 win over the Wizards.

ImpactKornet has now played 31 total minutes over the first two games of the season. With Kristaps Porzingis out until early December and 38-year-old Al Horford needing rest, expect Kornet, Xavier Tillman and Neemias Queta to see decent minutes over the next few weeks. The issue is, though, that reserve minutes will probably be split equally between those the three back-ups. Boston has their first back-to-back on November 1st and 2nd. Expect Kornet, Tillman and Queta to receive an extra minutes boost at that time.

Carlton Carrington - Probable for SaturdayCarrington (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

ImpactCarrington sustained a mild left ankle sprain in the final minutes of Thursday's blowout loss to Boston. However, the rookie was a full participant in Friday's practice and will likely give it a go Saturday. Carrington got the start at shooting guard Thursday, and he will likely reprise his role in the starting five if he plays Saturday.

Sam Hauser - Another absence comingHauser (back) is out for Saturday's game versus the Pistons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

ImpactHauser will miss his second straight contest Saturday while dealing with lower back pain. Neemias Queta and Jordan Walsh are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hauser's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Xavier Tillman Sr. - Sees 15 minutes of run in winTillman delivered eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes in Thursday's 122-102 win at Washington.

ImpactExpect Tillman, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta to receive significant minutes when the Celtics face struggling opponents such as the Wizards. Kristaps Porzingis is out until at least early December and 38-year-old Al Horford needs to pace himself to be ready for the playoffs. That said, none of the three Boston big men reserves will ever produce gaudy stats. The Celtics are very deep and don't need reserve centers to produce on the offensive end.

Jaden Springer - Plays six minutes in winSpringer posted one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over six minutes in Thursday's 122-102 win at Washington.

ImpactAfter receiving a DNP-Coach's Decision on Opening Night, Springer saw some garbage time late in Boston's smackdown of the Wizards. At this point, Springer is fortunate to have a roster spot and is probably the first man out should Boston decide to make a roster change.
