Kemba Walker (rest) sitting for Celtics Wednesday in back-to-back
Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (left knee injury management) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Walker will sit out the second leg of Boston's back-to-back. Jeff Teague and Marcus Smart are both candidates to replace Walker in the starting lineup. Payton Pritchard should also see a boost.
numberFire's models prefer Pritchard over Teague and Smart in terms of value for Wednesday's 10-game slate. He has a salary of $3,500 and is projected for 18.4 FanDuel points over 25 minutes. Teague has a salary of $3,800 and is projected for 16.0 FanDuel points while Smart has a salary of $5,500 and is projected for 26.7 FanDuel points.
