BOS • Center-Forward • #42
With Jaylen Brown (thigh) sidelined, Horford was in the starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Raptors for rest reasons. Nine of his 10 attempts were from beyond the arc, and the 38-year-old hit double digits in rebounds for the third time in his last five outings. Like Jrue Holiday, Horford has been more valuable to the Celtics than to fantasy managers this season, sitting outside the top 100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. If Brown remains out, however, Horford’s fantasy ceiling will be raised.

Kornet made the most of his starting nod on Sunday with a well-rounded performance. The reserve big man has had quite a few strong showings in the final weeks of the regular season. He’ll likely play a modest role behind Kristaps Porzingis in the postseason.

It wasn’t surprising to see Pritchard thrive with the keys to the offense in the Celtics’ final game of the season. He finished the regular season scoring at least 20 points in three of his final five games. His role will likely diminish come playoff time, though. Despite how exceptional he’s been off the bench this season.

Adebayo is one of the NBA’s best and most versatile defenders, and the Heat used that to their advantage on Wednesday. He began the game guarding Josh Giddey, which may have thrown off the Bulls’ starting point guard. Adebayo didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, but his rebounding and defense helped lead the way as Miami held Chicago to a season-low 90 points. The Heat visit Atlanta on Friday, with the winner advancing to face Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs.

Carter was excellent on Tuesday, and the time off that comes with earning the seventh seed should benefit him. The Magic center rolled his right ankle during the first half and banged knees with a Hawks defender during the third quarter. The good news is that neither injury forced Carter out of Tuesday’s game immediately, and Orlando pulling away during the fourth quarter got him a little more time on the bench late. The Magic don’t play Boston in Game 1 of their first-round series until Sunday, which should help Carter regain strength.
