Porzingis suffered a swollen right index finger in Saturday's 117-98 loss to the Hawks, Marc Berman of Newsday reports. He's still expected to start at power forward Sunday against the Celtics.

Analysis:

The finger injury didn't force Porzingis to exit Saturday's contest, but it may have impacted his effectiveness, as he finished with only nine points on 3-of-10 shooting to go with two rebounds. X-rays after the came back negative to confirm that Porzingis didn't suffer any structural damage, but the lingering soreness could again inhibit him during Sunday's contest. As a result, he probably doesn't make for an advisable DFS option.
