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.
Pritchard ended up playing 31 minutes off the bench Wednesday as Derrick White's shooting slump continued against the Raptors. White went 2-of-9 from the field and played just 21 minutes as Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla opted to go with Pritchard. The 26-year-old point guard ended up leading the Celtics with 20 points, though that isn't necessarily a recipe for success as the defending champion Celtics lost to the now 10-31 Raptors.
White was sidelined for their last game on Tuesday, but he will be back in the lineup for this game. Al Horford started in a bigger starting unit for the Celtics against Denver, but he'll return to a reserve role for this one.
White (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Kings.
The Celtics were without Derrick White (illness) on Tuesday, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Horford. He provided 3-pointers and steals, with the four pilfers representing a season-high. While his overall fantasy value has decreased, which is expected for most players Horford's age, he can provide added value on nights when allowed to start.
