Celtics' Marcus Morris starting in place of injured Al Horford (knee)
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris will start at power forward in place of Al Horford on Saturday, reports NBC Sports' Abby Chin.
What It Means:
Horford is dealing with knee soreness, so Aron Baynes will slide to center with Morris at the four. Daniel Theis will also see a lot of run with Morris on a minutes limit. The Celtics might also opt for more smallball lineups.
At $3,900, Morris is projected for 27.4 FanDuel points over 30.1 minutes on Saturday.
