Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) is questionable for the meeting with the Timberwolves on Sunday. The veteran is under the weather, so it will be his second-straight absence if he doesn't suit up on Sunday. If that's the case, Neemias Queta will likely remain with the starting lineup, although he's a hit-or-miss fantasy option. The same can be said for Luke Kornet, who had six points, six rebounds, one board, and one block in Friday's win over the Washington Wizards.
Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran big man was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. It doesn't sound like a serious issue and should only be a one-game absence. The absence of Horford should mean more minutes for Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet in the rotation. Neither player is an ideal fantasy option, but Queta could be worth a look due to his rebounding ability.
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) will play in Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old was questionable heading into this contest because of a sprained thumb. Luckily, the C's will have him out there for a touch matchup with the undefeated Cavs. While Pritchard comes off the bench, he has averaged 15.5 points and shot 41.9% from behind the arc, making him a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup.
According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com,Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Pritchard has averaged 17.3 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.8 minutes per game during his last 12 outings.He's yet to miss a contest this regular season, but if the 26-year-old cannot go, Sam Hauser will likely see an uptick in minutes on the court.
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is trending in the right direction during his recovery from foot surgery. According to Jared Weiss, the big man will practice with the team's G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, along with Xavier Tillman Sr. Porzingis hasn't appeared in a game yet this season with his last game played coming in last year's NBA Finals. Al Horford, Neemias Queta, and Luke Kornet will continue to rotate through the center minutes until Porzingis can get back on the court.
