Kemba Walker returning Monday for Boston following breather
Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Walker sat out Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back and was replaced in the starting lineup by Grant Williams. Jaylen Brown (hip) will miss Monday's matchup, so Walker could see an uptick in usage. He's scored over 20 points in consecutive games while averaging 5.5 assists, 3.0 steals, and 4.0 triples.
numberFire’s models project Kemba for 33.0 FanDuel points versus the Pelicans and he has a salary of $6,800 on Monday’s 11-game slate. The Pelicans are allowing the most points in the league to the point guard position over their last seven games.
