Kornet made the most of his starting nod on Sunday with a well-rounded performance. The reserve big man has had quite a few strong showings in the final weeks of the regular season. He’ll likely play a modest role behind Kristaps Porzingis in the postseason.

With Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, the Celtics went with a bigger lineup, starting Kornet and Al Horford. Both players recorded double-doubles, with Horford adding 11 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes. While Kornet’s season-long value has been low, there have been moments when he’s worth streaming. The Celtics play four games during Week 23, and the 7-foot-2 center should have more opportunities to play extended minutes.

Kornet was sidelined on Monday, but with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available, he likely wouldn’t have played a significant role if he was available. However, with Horford (toe) doubtful and Porzingis (conditioning) questionable, Kornet should at least play a significant role off the bench and could slide into the starting lineup.
