Kemba Walker (knee) cleared for Celtics, on minutes limit Tuesday
Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will play on Tuesday versus the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Walker said he felt good after Monday's practice, but he will be on a minutes limit following a five-game absence. Jayson Tatum (illness) is expected to miss the contest, so Marcus Smart should remain in the starting lineup. Walker is expected to sit out Wednesday in the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set. Brad Wanamaker and Grant Williams figure to see reduced playing time with Walker back.
numberFire's models project Kemba for 30.8 FanDuel points in 26.0 minutes on Tuesday. He costs $6,600.
