Could the Celtics beat the Pacers in Monday night’s game with Horford in and Porzingis out?
Kristaps Porzingis has been a key player for the Boston Celtics, due to which they are sitting at number 1 position in the Eastern Conference with a record of 15-4. The Celtics are looking really solid against the Indiana Pacers, who are sitting at 6th with a record of 10-8 in the Eastern Conference.
But the 7ft 3″ Star will be out against the Pacers due to the left calf strain, as per the latest Boston Celtics’ injury report.
Boston will be starting Al Horford in place of Kristaps Porzingis on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics are still solid without Porzingis on the roster.
They have previously won games against the Chicago Bulls (124-97), Philadelphia 76ers (15-119), and Atlanta Hawks (113-103).
Even without Kristaps on the roster, the Boston Celtics are strong and could easily defeat the Pacers in the Monday night game.
