Al Horford Rested On Thursday
2 years agoBoston Celtics center Al Horford (back) will be rested Thursday versus Brooklyn. The C's are completing a back-to-back, so the team's decision to keep the veteran out of the contest doesn't come as a surprise. The 36-year-old hasn't played both games of a back-to-back situation all season. Robert Williams III and Grant Williams should handle most of the available minutes, with a little bit of Luke Kornet sprinkled in there as well. Williams III has just logged his first start of the campaign and is averaging 9.5 points and 9.3 rebounds as a starter for his career. He will be nicely fresh as well for the game after resting Wednesday versus OKC.
