Blake Griffin starting in place of Al Horford (back) for Celtics Monday
The Boston Celtics will start Blake Griffin at center with Al Horford (back) sidelined against the Toronto Raptors Monday.
What It Means:
Griffin will make another spot start with Horford dealing with a back issue. The Celtics have been hesitant to overwork Griffin, who has played roughly 20 minutes per game in his last two starts.
Our models project Griffin for 18 minutes tonight, with 16 fantasy points off of 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. He has a $3,500 salary on FanDuel.
