Amir Johnson

Celtics rule out Amir Johnson (illness) on Saturday

The Boston Celtics have ruled out forward/center Amir Johnson (illness) for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

Without Johnson available for Saturday, look for Kelly Olynyk and Jonas Jerebko to pick up some extra minutes at power forward. It's only the second game Johnson has missed all season.

Our models project Olynyk to be the best Celtics value play on Saturday with 11.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 26.3 minutes against the Hornets
