Guerschon Yabusele (illness) to miss Celtics' season opener on Tuesday
Boston Celtics power forward Guerschon Yabusele will not play on Tuesday night due to illness.
What It Means:
As the Celtics face the Cleveland Cavaliers on opening night, they will be without both Yabusele and Marcus Morris (knee soreness), leaving Jayson Tatum to log heavy minutes at the power forward spot in the lineup. However, the Celtics could decide to go small or work in rookie Semi Ojeleye.
Yabusele is projected for 131 points, 63 rebounds and 20 assists in a backup role this season. Tatum is projected for 26.2 minutes and 24.0 FanDuel points at $3,500 this evening.
