Al Horford Unavailable On Wednesday
3 months agoBoston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Horford will take a seat on Wednesday which is the front end of a back-to-back set. The hope is that he's back in action on Thursday after resting here. The Celtics will be shorthanded at the center spot with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also sidelined on Wednesday. That means, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta will see bigger roles in the rotation. Kornet is well worth a look as a streaming choice with the Celtics shorthanded on Wednesday.

Al Horford Sidelined Versus Heat
5 days agoAccording 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.

Al Horford Considered Doubtful Wednesday
5 days agoBoston 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.

Al Horford Available Against Heat
3 weeks agoBoston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Miami Heat. Boston has upgraded his status from probable to available. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out of commission, Horford has recently taken on a heavy workload. He is averaging 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.8 steals this month. However, Horford doesn't play back-to-backs, so Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta will likely do the bulk of the work at center on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets if Porzingis isn't ready to return.
