Noah Vonleh starting for Celtics Saturday in place of injured Al Horford
Boston Celtics forward Noah Vonleh will start Saturday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Al Horford has been ruled out for Saturday night's game due to lower back stiffness. It also happens to be the second leg of a back-to-back set, so perhaps the team is simply exercising some precaution with the veteran big. In any case, in Horford's absence, Vonleh is getting the call to start down low.
Our models project Vonleh for 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 21.8 FanDuel points across 24.6 minutes of action.
