Sees 11 minutes in Game 6
Porzingis closed Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.
Analysis
Throughout the postseason, and especially in this series, it's been very evident that Porzingis is far from 100 percent. The franchise will be hopeful that he can recover his health over the long offseason. Although he had his fair share of injuries in the regular season, Porzingis was terrific when healthy, as he averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 42 regular-season contests.

Moving to bench role
Porzingis is not in the starting lineup for Game 6 against the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis
Porzingis has struggled massively in the series and was outplayed by Luke Kornet in the Game 5 win Wednesday, so it's not entirely surprising to see the former move to a bench role. Porzingis is averaging 4.2 points and 3.4 rebounds across 16.4 minutes per game in the series while starting in just two of the six outings.

Not on injury report
Porzingis (illness) is not on the injury report for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis
Coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis "couldn't breathe" during Game 5, and the big man wasn't able to play in the second half after logging 12 minutes in the first half with a single point to his name. Porzingis hasn't looked like himself in a long time, and with Luke Kornet shining in Game 5, rotation changes could be on the table.

Trouble breathing in Game 5
Coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis "couldn't breathe" and wasn't available for the second half unless it was "absolutely necessary" in Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Porzingis logged one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one block across 12 minutes.
Analysis
Porzingis hasn't looked like himself during the series as he continues to battle an illness. It seemed like the issue subsided after he played 24 minutes in Game 4 and was part of Wednesday's starting lineup. However, the illness continues to plague Porzingis, and the Celtics held him out of the second half due to his difficulty breathing. His absence allowed Luke Kornet to play 26 minutes, and Kornet logged 10 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks. Porzingis' status should be monitored ahead of Friday's Game 6 in New York.

Starting Game 5
Porzingis will enter the starting lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Knicks on Wednesday, Sean Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Analysis
With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, the Celtics will roll with a traditional frontcourt with Porzingis next to Al Horford. It's no secret that Porzingis hasn't been 100 percent after his illness, so it will be interesting to see how he fares with increased usage Wednesday.

Struggles continue in Game 4
Porzingis racked up seven points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Analysis
Porzingis has played off the bench in the Celtics' last three games and had another dismal showing against his former team, failing to reach double-digit points for the fourth time in four games in the series. The Celtics need more from Porzingis, especially if Jayson Tatum (lower leg) ends up missing time after departing Monday's game with an injury. Porzingis is averaging 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in the series.
