Which fantasy basketball players are on the rise or trending down so far this season? Steve Alexander highlights the names to know.
With Jayson Tatum sidelined for this game, Horford will move back into the starting unit and form a tall frontcourt duo next to Kristaps Porzingis. Of course, Payton Pritchard will continue to play a significant role off the bench.
Back in the lineup after a two-game absence, Holiday was one of three players the Bucks had no answer for on Friday night (Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown being the others). The 20 points are the most Holiday has scored in a game since October 28, when he scored a season-high 21 against...the Bucks. The regular season series between the two teams is finished, which is good news for Milwaukee (0-3).
Boston will begin Friday's game with four-fifths of its preferred starting lineup, with Kristaps Porzingis being the lone absentee. Horford will get the start, and the two Celtics bigs are likely to switch roles for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
Tatum was sidelined for the first time this season on Wednesday, and there is a chance that he remains sidelined against Milwaukee. Sam Hauser started in his place in their last game, but Jrue Holiday was sidelined for that one as well. Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are all questionable, but it would take all of them being sidelined for Hauser to potentially start.
