Al Horford (head) ruled out for Celtics on second night of back-to-back
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (head) will not play on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Horford took a hit to the head on Tuesday and while he doesn't have a concussion, head coach Brad Stevens said the Celtics want to observe him. Aron Baynes will likely draw another start while Marcus Morris steps into the first unit and Daniel Theis sees minutes off the bench.
Horford is averaging 33.0 FanDuel points in 44 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game.
