Al Horford to rest for Celtics on Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will be given a breather on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
The Celtics will likely be fine without Horford in a home matchup against the owners of the worst record in the NBA. They don't play again until Saturday, so Horford should be well rested for that home matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Aron Baynes will likely draw the start in Horford's place.
Horford is averaging 30.1 FanDuel points through 38 games. numberFire's models expect him to record 16.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 0.3 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
