Celtics declare Kemba Walker (left knee rehab) out for Thursday

The Boston Celtics have ruled Kemba Walker (left knee rehab) out for Thurdsay's game against the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

The Celtics are already locked into the third seed in the Eastern Conference, so they have nothing to gain by starting their first team. Walker sitting this one out should open up minutes for Brad Wanamaker and Javonte Green.

numberFire currently projects Wanamaker to play 30.3 minutes against the Wizards, with 25.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists for a total of 25.6 fantasy points. Green is projected for 21.6 minutes and 18.2 fantasy points.
