Celtics starting Al Horford (health protocols) on Thursday, Grant Williams to bench
Boston Celtics power forward Al Horford (health protocols) is starting in Thursday's Game 2 lineup against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Horford will make his first start this series after Boston's veteran was not available for health protocol reasons during Game One's defeat. In a matchup against a Heat unit allowing 39.0 points in the paint this postseason, our models project Horford to score 33.5 FanDuel points.
Horford's projection includes 11.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
