Impact Boston was shorthanded in the frontcourt Tuesday, as all of Horford, Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Luke Kornet (personal) were held out of action. Mazzulla confirmed that Porzingis will be back in action Wednesday, but the Celtics could have room for Horford on the top unit if the team elects to rest any of its other usual starters (Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum) for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Horford typically plays around 20-to-25 minutes when he comes off the bench, but he's averaging 9.1 points, 5.9 boards, 2.2 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 28.8 minutes per game over his 29 starts on the season.

Impact Horford has been on and off of the injury report this season due to a left toe sprain. Tuesday is the first leg of a back-to-back set for the Celtics, and with Luke Kornet (personal) already ruled out against Toronto, Horford's absence would lead to a significant increase in playing time for Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman (knee) behind starting center Kristaps Porzingis. Horford has averaged 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 25.0 minutes per game in February.

Does little in spot start Horford recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 127-120 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Coming off a strong double-double performance in Tuesday's win against the Cavaliers, Horford was inserted into the Celtics' starting five Thursday due to the absence of Jrue Holiday (shoulder). Horford couldn't replicate the success he found two days prior, with his lone field goal coming on a three-pointer. He could start in Saturday's game against the Knicks if Holiday is not cleared to play.

Double-double off bench Horford supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Payton Pritchard has typically been the leading bench scorer for the Celtics this season, but it was the veteran Horford who led the reserves in that category Tuesday. Horford's 10 rebounds matched a season high that he set Nov. 8 en route to his second double-double of the regular season. Horford won't always have these kind of nights, but it's a reminder of the versatility that he brings to a Celtics team looking to go back-to-back.
