Celtics' Al Horford: Out Monday following birth of child

Al Horford will not play Monday against the Heat following the birth of his child.

Analysis:

Horford's wife recently gave birth to the couple's second child, so Horford will remain away from the team Monday night. The big man is expected to be present at practice Tuesday, so he should be back in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pistons. In Horford's absence Monday, expect Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Zeller to each see increased minutes as Boston attempts to slow down Hassan Whiteside.
