Celtics' Kemba Walker (knee) available to play Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will play Sunday in the team's game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Walker hasn't played yet this season as he recovers from a knee injury, but it seems like the veteran point man is ready to go. He'll likely be on a minutes limit - though that hasn't been stated as of yet - and could have a small role to start as the team gradually ramps him up. But for now, Celtics fans can be happy that Walker is back on the court. He should eat into Jeff Teague's workload, possibly even sending him to the bench if head coach Brad Stevens throws Walker into the starting five immediately.
Our models project Walker for 12.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 21.3 FanDuel points across 19.6 minutes of action.
