Jrue Holiday

The Celtics are without their top two big men, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, who will miss the second game of Boston's back-to-back. Kornet moves into the starting lineup and has some deep-league streaming value. Despite not being a center, Sam Hauser is also worth a look in deep leagues.

With Derrick White sidelined, Joe Mazzulla will roll out their bigger starting unit. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser should take on extra minutes off the bench, but it will be Horford that slides into the opening lineup.

The Celtics are down two starters for Thursday's game, with Jaylen Brown (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) ruled out. Hauser and Horford will replace them in the lineup, with the latter unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Rockets if his usual routine holds.

Holiday is back after missing three games with a shoulder injury. Sam Hauser heads back to the bench and sixth man Payton Pritchard will return to their normal roles. Horford continues to start with Kristaps Porzingis still out.

Holiday is set to return after a three-game absence. Sam Hauser will likely head back to the bench and Payton Pritchard will resume his normal role as the sixth man.
