Al Horford Available Despite Illness
4 months agoBoston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) is listed as available for Wednesday's tilt versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Horford will play through an illness, and the Celtics are going to need him down low with star big man Kristaps Porzingis (knee) out against Minnesota's imposing frontcourt if they want to stay unbeaten at home. Horford is not necessarily a must-roster fantasy player in his age-37 campaign, but the former All-Star has been a must-stream asset when his minutes get expanded. Managing top-100 value overall, Horford is producing 9.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 treys, and 1.5 blocks in 31.4 minutes per game across 13 starting appearances in 2023-24. Horford's $6,600 DraftKings salary more or less reflects those numbers, so while he's not much of a salary-relief option, season-long managers should be starting him without hesitance despite a tough matchup.
