Koufos started Wednesday and played in 35 minutes against the Celtics. He scored seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 FT), grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked three shots.

Koufos is starting in place of injured Marc Gasol (knee) and should seemingly start until Gasol returns. It is unlikely that Koufos will be able to fill the offensive hole left by Gasol, but he has done a good job of getting rebounds and blocks to fill the void that Memphis currently faces.
