Al Horford (back) starting for Celtics Monday
Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back tightness) will start in Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Horford said that he felt his back tighten up in Friday's tilt with the Miami Heat, and that he doesn't plan on missing any time going forward in the Celtics' future back-to-backs. He'll be back in the starting lineup tonight while Noah Vonleh takes a seat.
Our models project Horford to score 28.9 fantasy points against the Bulls tonight, with 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 30.2 minutes of action. FanDuel has set his salary at $5,600.
