UPDATE: Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out.

On Monday evening, the Boston Celtics will host the New Orleans Pelicans in Massachusetts. 

For the game, the Celtics could be without one of their best players, as Kristaps Porzingis is on the injury report.  

The 2018 NBA All-Star also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Porzingis has played in 33 games and is averaging 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 52.9% from the field and 35.9% from the three-point range.  

The Celtics are the first seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-11 record in their first 46 games. 

They are 7-3 over their last ten games, but most recently lost to Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 115-96. 

Following the Pelicans, the Celtics will remain at home to host the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday evening. 

At home, they are 20-2 in the 22 games they have played in Boston. 

As for the Pelicans, they are the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 26-20 record in their first 46 games. 

They are 5-5 over their last ten games and in the middle of a two-game losing streak.
