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 (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.

Al Horford (toe) is expected to play on Friday versus the Miami Heat. Hoford appears likely to play Friday after sitting out Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Unlike
Jayson Tatum (knee) and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness), who are both questionable, Horford is probable. For the season, Horford has played in 51 games. He averages 8.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. His shooting percentage is 41.9%.
Luke Kornet could be more productive if Horford and Porzingis (who is listed as questionable) can't play.

Al Horford (toe) won't play on Monday versus Utah. He's listed as out because of a toe sprain. But it's not uncommon for the veteran to miss games, so fantasy managers may see him back on the floor on Wednesday night against OKC. With
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) ruled out, Horford would have likely handled things underneath the basket. However,
Luke Kornet, averaging 10.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 10 starts this season, will likely get the start.
