Kemba Walker (knee) to be on minutes restriction prior to playoffs

When discussing Kemba Walker with the Boston media, Celtics head coach Brad Stevens stated, "we’re going to move very slowly with Kemba, make sure he can strengthen (his knee) and make sure he’s all good to go as we enter the seeding games and into the playoffs." (Boston Celtics on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Walker claimed that he was 'ready to go' just a week ago, but it appears the Celtics will exercise caution with their All-Star point guard when the Celtics return to play in a couple of weeks. Walker's had a few months to rest his troublesome left knee, but being brought along slowly will preserve his knee for when it matters most - the playoffs. DFS players should be hesitant to deploy Walker through the first few games, as its clear he won't see his typical minutes and could see a dip in production as a result.
