The San Antonio Spurs will suit up against the defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics on Saturday, March 29 at the Frost Bank Center. The Celtics have been in exceptional form in the closing stages of the regular season after winning seven games on the trot. They have even won 12 out of their last 13 games.
Will Al Horford and Payton Pritchard start against San Antonio Spurs?
As the Spurs take on Celtics, the fans would be eager to know the availability status of Al Horford and Payton Pritchard. Horford (toe) has been suffering from injuries this season and has played only 56 games for the Celtics. He is listed on the team's injury report as questionable.
Payton Pritchard (left hip) has been a constant and has featured in 72 games for the Celtics this season. He is also listed on the team's injury report as questionable. Apart from Horford and Pritchard, Xavier Tillman is also listed as questionable.
JD Davison (G League) and Drew Peterson (G League) are sidelined from the clash against the Spurs. On the other hand, the Spurs will be without key players such as De'Aaron Fox, Victor Wembenyama, David Duke Jr., Harrison Ingram, Charles Bassey and Riley Minix.
Al Horford and Payton Pritchard could be rested against Spurs
Al Horford featured in the previous game for the Celtics against Phoenix Suns that ended in the favor of the former (132-102). The 38-year-old played 26 minutes and registered 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Pritchard was also impressive as he recorded seven points, six rebounds and four assists coming off the bench.
Both Al Horford and Payton Pritchard might not be the biggest names on the roster for the Lakers but they surely are key in their hopes of a back-to-back title. The team could opt to rest both of them against a dejected Spurs side.
