Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (lower leg) will be in the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. He hurt his lower leg versus Milwaukee on Wednesday but avoided serious injury, and the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Replacing Patrick Williams (foot), Craig made his first start of the campaign on Wednesday. The veteran produced a solid performance with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. However, he'll be heading back to the bench on Friday, with Ayo Dosunmu promoted to the first unit. Craig doesn't have fantasy value as a reserve.

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.
