Celtics' Robert Williams (knee) 'true day-to-day' for Finals
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (knee) will be a "true day-to-day situation" during the NBA Finals, per head coach Ime Udoka.
Williams will be listed as questionable for Game 1 and it sounds like that will be the case throughout the entire series. He missed one game last round and was limited to a series-low 15 minutes in Game 7, but Williams should benefit from additional rest between games in the finals. Grant Williams should be the biggest beneficiary if Robert is limited or unavailable.
numberFire's models currently project Time Lord for 27.0 minutes and 29.1 FanDuel points in Game 1. In two regular-season games against the Dubs, Williams averaged 7.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks in 30.2 minutes.
