Al Horford has been confirmed as
Jayson Tatum's (wrist) replacement in the starting lineup for Game 2 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. He is joining the first unit for the 43rd time this term. During the regular season, Horford averaged 9.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in a starting role. In Game 1, Horford already logged 25 minutes as a reserve, so there should be a good amount of minutes available for the rest of the Celtics bench as well on Wednesday night.

Al Horford (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Horford got the start in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards, amassing an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double. With
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) questionable, Horford would have been in line to remain in the starting lineup. However, if Porzingis can't suit up,
Luke Kornet, who had 13 points and 14 rebounds on Sunday, will be a popular DFS value option.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/center
Al Horford (toe) won't play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. He has been dealing with a left big toe sprain for a while and will need some time off to manage the lingering injury. Boston's frontcourt will also be without
Kristaps Porzingis (illness), leaving
Luke Kornet,
Neemias Queta, and
Xavier Tillman Sr. as the only options at center. Kornet has more fantasy appeal as he finished 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Boston Celtics forward/center
Al Horford (toe) has been labeled doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He has been nursing a left big toe sprain for a while and appears to need to take some time off to manage the injury. Boston's frontcourt may also be without
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) on Monday, leaving
Luke Kornet,
Neemias Queta, and
Xavier Tillman Sr. as the only options at center. Kornet is the most appealing from a fantasy perspective, and he was in fine form in his last outing, notching 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's win over the San Antonio Spurs.
