Celtics' Al Horford (protocols) also likely out Game 2
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will likely remain in the league's health and safety protocols through Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
What It Means:
Horford was a late scratch for Game 1 and the Celtics expect him to remain out until at least Game 3 back in Boston on Saturday. Grant Williams should see a larger workload while Horford is in protocols, as well as Robert Williams and Daniel Theis.
Robert is now numberFire's top point-per-dollar value on Tuesday. He has an $8,500 salary and our models project him for 32.4 FanDuel points over 30.1 minutes. Grant has a $9,000 salary and is projected for 2.8 FanDuel points over 36.3 minutes.
