Al Horford (illness) expected to return for Celtics on Friday
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (illness) is expected to return on Friday against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Horford will miss a second straight game tonight against the Washington Wizards but it sounds like he'll be with the Celtics for their upcoming two-game road trip, which concludes with the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. Guerschon Yabusele is making his first career start on Wednesday in place of Horford.
Horford is averaging 31.9 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 21.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.1 blocks per contest.
