Al Horford will have to do the heavy lifting for the Celtics down low tonight versus the Pelicans as both Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet are sidelined. The Pelicans are a young and deep team and currently stand tied for 6th place in the Western Conference.

Zion Williamson hasn't dominated this season as New Orleans had hoped, but at least he's been healthy this campaign. Porzingis and Kornet are considered day-to-day according to head coach Joe Mazzulla.
