Boston Celtics forward Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Tillman is dealing with inflammation in his left knee, which will sideline him for a third consecutive contest. The 26-year-old hasn't played much this season, appearing in 27 of 55 games despite having a strong preseason stint. Tillman has been an end-of-the-bench player in his first full season in Boston, so his absence won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective.

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, Boston Celtics forward/centerXavier Tillman Sr. (illness) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday due to an illness. Tillman's absence shouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation, as he's averaged just 8.6 minutes across 17 games so far in this year's campaign. With Tillman and Sam Hauser (back) both out, players like Neemias Queta and Jordan Walsh could soak up a few extra minutes on Thursday.

Per Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Boston Celtics general manager Brad Stevens said Tuesday that forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) had a knee scope during the offseason, but he will be a full-go for training camp. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) out to start the season, the 25-year-old will have a chance for early-season minutes. During 20 regular-season contests last year, Tillman averaged 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 13.7 minutes.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) is questionable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. He wasn't available for the overtime win on Monday night. However, the 25-year-old has logged just eight minutes throughout the postseason, averaging 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, meaning he likely wouldn't have received much (if any) work. That likely won't change, considering there's a chance Kristaps Porzingis (calf) will be back for Game 4 on Monday. In the meantime, Al Horford will hold things down in the middle, keeping him on the DFS radar, with Luke Kornet coming in off the bench.

On Tuesday, Boston Celtics forward Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) was ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. Both Tillman and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) are listed as unavailable. The 25-year-old's absence won't impact DFS play, as he has only seen action in three of 10 Celtics' postseason games, averaging 1.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.7 steals in 8.3 minutes per contest.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's postseason matchup with Indiana. The 25-year-old has averaged only 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 points throughout the postseason. Even with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to miss at least a few more contests, Tillman isn't likely to make his way into the rotation anytime soon, even if he's available. Instead, Al Horford will cover things in the middle, with Luke Kornet coming in for relief.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will be available for Thursday's intriguing matchup against the Knicks. Boston's backup big has overcome a right knee issue, and the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) also in the lineup, Tillman Sr. likely won't play a large part in the Celtics' plans on Thursday. He should have a much bigger role on Friday in a favorable matchup against Charlotte.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) will play on Thursday against Atlanta. He wasn't available when these clubs met on Monday night because of knee swelling and was questionable heading into this one. But he's averaged just 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the Celtics, so his presence won't mean much to DFS managers, even with Al Horford (toe) sidelined.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Atlanta. A swollen left knee might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. Tillman Sr. is logging 15.5 minutes per game as a backup big in Boston. He's registered 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games with the team since arriving from Memphis. There might be an opportunity for Tillman Sr. to have a larger role on Thursday, with Al Horford (toe) in danger of missing the game, but he likely still won't see enough time on the court to be a viable fantasy option.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) isn't available for Monday's meeting with the Hawks. He's dealing with left knee swelling. However, the 25-year-old has averaged only 3.5 points and 3.3 boards in 11 games with the Celtics this season, so his absence doesn't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Tillman's next chance to play is on Thursday for a rematch with Atlanta. Yet, if Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet are active, Tillman won't get involved in that one, either.

Boston Celtics center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) has been listed as questionable due to knee swelling for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old has settled into a reserve role so far in Boston and that should continue if he does end up playing on Monday. Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are both set to play in this one, so that will leave Tillman with the scraps or some garbage time if they end up winning by a blowout. If he's unable to suit up, Luke Kornet will get those vacant minutes while Horford and Porzingis likely get a few extra opportunities in a closer game.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Sunday against Miami. The 25-year-old, who was traded from Memphis on Thursday, continues to deal with a knee injury. He'll now miss his sixth straight contest, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to make his C's debut. Tillman has plenty to offer. However, unless he gets a regular role in the rotation, he's not expected to be a consistent contributor for fantasy managers. But with Kristaps Porzingis seemingly always on the injury report, Tillman could gain fantasy appeal at some point down the line.

Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Friday night versus the Wizards. The 25-year-old was traded to Boston on Thursday after playing in Memphis for his entire career. He wasn't a routine fantasy producer. However, Tillman had some potent showings over the years. But before the trade, he was sidelined by a knee injury, keeping him off the floor for Memphis' previous four games. Fantasy managers are used to this by now, so his current ailment isn't surprising. Nonetheless, Tillman will hopefully be back soon. Unfortunately, unless Kristaps Porzingis, Jayson Tatum, or Al Horford are not in the lineup, his fantasy impact will likely be minimal more times than not.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) could miss a second straight game on Monday versus Toronto, with the team listing him as questionable. He also had the questionable tag ahead of Saturday's game against Chicago and didn't suit up. Santi Aldama recorded his sixth start of the season in Tillman Sr.'s absence. The Spaniard was quiet at the weekend but has previously done well in the starting unit, averaging 13.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in the role.

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. The big man was questionable throughout Saturday because of left knee soreness. However, Tillman will join the long list of injured Grizzlies players. Nevertheless, Santi Aldama will roll with the first five, with the 23-year-old averaging 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in five starts this season. Fantasy managers should consider Aldama a viable fantasy option in all formats.

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. Tillman recently logged 36 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, amassing 10 points. However, he's battling with left knee soreness, which may be enough to keep him off the floor. With Memphis dealing with more than a few injuries to several key players on the roster, the door may open for Santi Aldama and GG Jackson II to get more involved, meaning they will be worth streaming if Tillman can't play.

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) has missed the last six consecutive games after he was considered week-to-week with a left knee issue. He's officially listed as questionable for the team's Friday night game against the Dallas Mavericks, so he has a chance to return. The 24-year-old started the first five games of the season due to the team's thin frontcourt, but he hasn't turned it into great value just yet. If he suits up, Bismack Biyombo will take a hit to his minutes and fantasy value.

Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) was announced week-to-week as he recovers from his knee injury. The team announced this news on Monday, making it sound like he's doubtful to play this week. Bismack Biyombo should continue to start in his place while Jaren Jackson Jr. stays at the power forward spot. Behind them, Santi Aldama has been seeing a good chunk of playing time while David Roddy and Kenneth Lofton Jr. only get the leftover scraps. The former three would be the best options of the Grizzlies' frontcourt players.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus San Antonio. He has just returned from a knee injury, and the team doesn't want to push him too hard. Tillman Sr. logged 22 minutes following a four-game absence Tuesday versus the Lakers, scoring 15 points on 6-for-7 shooting and posting two rebounds and two assists. Tillman Sr.'s absence should once again boost the playing time of Bismack Biyombo, who has done well for Memphis by averaging 7.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 24.7 minutes. Santi Aldama is set to benefit as well, although he has been very inconsistent with his performances and will be a risky choice for fantasy managers on Saturday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is good news after Tillman has missed the last four games while recovering from a left knee injury. It's uncertain at the moment if he'll take over as the starter or if they will continue to roll with Bismack Biyombo. Regardless, Biyombo will likely still see significant minutes in the rotation. He's averaging 11.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks and should be rostered in all formats right now.
