Al Horford Logs A Triple-Double In Win
Al Horford led his club to the big win over the Heat on Monday when he recorded his second triple-double of his career. Horford did it all as he scored 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting and added 11 boards with 10 assists while adding a steal in the process. Horford did return from a game's rest on Saturday as it was the second night of a back-to-back and we can expect the veteran to probably get another night off before the season's end. So keep an eye on his status for his club's remaining four games.

Al Horford Won't Play On Tuesday
Al Horford (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Horford got the start in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards, amassing an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) questionable, Horford would have been in line to remain in the starting lineup. However, if Porzingis can't suit up, Luke Kornet, who had 13 points and 14 rebounds on Sunday, will be a popular DFS value option.

Al Horford Sidelined Versus Heat
Al Horford (toe) won't play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. He has been dealing with a left big toe sprain for a while and will need some time off to manage the lingering injury. Boston's frontcourt will also be without Kristaps Porzingis (illness), leaving Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta, and Xavier Tillman Sr. as the only options at center. Kornet has more fantasy appeal as he finished 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Al Horford Considered Doubtful Wednesday
Al Horford (toe) has been labeled doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He has been nursing a left big toe sprain for a while and appears to need to take some time off to manage the injury. Boston's frontcourt may also be without Kristaps Porzingis (illness) on Monday, leaving Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta, and Xavier Tillman Sr. as the only options at center. Kornet is the most appealing from a fantasy perspective, and he was in fine form in his last outing, notching 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Al Horford Available Against Heat
Al Horford (toe) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Miami Heat. Boston has upgraded his status from probable to available. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out of commission, Horford has recently taken on a heavy workload. He is averaging 15.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.8 steals this month. However, Horford doesn't play back-to-backs, so Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta will likely do the bulk of the work at center on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets if Porzingis isn't ready to return.
