Celtics' Al Horford sitting out on Friday
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (groin) will not play against the Orlando Magic on Friday.
What It Means:
With Boston playing the first game of a back-to-back on Friday, the team is playing it safe with Horford's tender groin. There is a good chance he plays on Saturday but consider him questionable at the moment. Jonas Jerebko and Amir Johnson are starting in the frontcourt versus Orlando, but Kelly Olynyk benefits the most in Horford's absence.
Our models project Olynyk with the most fantasy points of the night with 21.9 in 25.4 minutes of action. He makes for a great value play on Friday with his $3,800 price tag.
