Celtics' Al Horford (knee) feels good about availability on Saturday
Boston Celtics power forward/center Al Horford said following Friday's game, "I feel good about playing tomorrow."
What It Means:
Horford temporarily exited Friday's game due to knee soreness, but he returned to the game and finished with 31 minutes in the Boston win. There should be an update leading up to shootaround, but it's expected that he suits up against the Brooklyn Nets. If he doesn't, Aron Baynes, Marcus Morris and Daniel Theis could all see extra time in the Celtics' frontcourt.
At a price of $7,400, Horford is projected to play 33.5 minutes and tally 33.2 FanDuel points. He's averaging 32.8 FD points on the season.
