Al Horford (knee) questionable for Celtics on Monday
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (right knee contusion) is questionable to play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
What It Means:
Horford may have experienced swelling overnight after banging knees with Anthony Tolliver in Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons. With a 3.5-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for the best record in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics can afford to let Horford rest versus the last-place Bulls on the second end of a back-to-back. If he joins Kyrie Irving (quad) on the shelf tonight, look for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to step up on offense for Boston while Aron Baynes or Daniel Theis may draw the start for Horford.
If he does end up playing, numberFire's models project Horford to score 34.1 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,500 versus the Bulls.
