Al Horford

Al Horford will not play Tuesday vs the Heat due to low back stiffness.

Fantasy Impact

Horford has sat out multiple games this season to manage his back, and this isn't too surprising in the second game of a back-to-back. Grant Williams will likely see additional minutes with Horford out.

Al Horford has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Horford will sit the second half of the back-to-back for the Celtics after playing 31 minutes on Wednesday. Robert Williams sat the first half of the back-to-back and could see the start in place of Horford assuming he plays.

Al Horford scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3PT) to go along with 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks on Friday against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Horford took advantage of the absence of Robert Williams, scoring in double figures for the first time since November 27. He is averaging in single figures as a scorer this season, but he still provides enough value as a defender to offer some value for fantasy managers.

Al Horford is available on Friday against the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Horford will return from his six-game absence. This is the first game all season where both he and Robert Williams will be active, so we will have to see how the Celtics work them together in the rotation.

Al Horford (personal) is questionable to play in Friday's matchup against the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Horford's availability for Friday is being threatened by a personal issue of some kind. We don't know exactly what it is, but we know that it may be enough to knock him out for a short period of time. Grant Williams and Robert Williams III would both likely be used to fill the void the veteran's absence would leave.
