BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Another week in the books since we talked about Al Horford for the last time, another week of excellence by the veteran big man. In the last four games Big Al has played he's been more than noticeable but most fantasy GMs seem to still not be paying enough attention or just focusing on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Take advantage of that and score you some Big Al shares while you can.
The last four games from Horford rate like this: excellent, putrid, excellent, excellent. Yes, the matchup against the Bulls on Monday stunk a bit (35 minutes with a 0-5-2-2-2 line) but Horford still found his way to contributing on some ancillary cats while not scoring a single point. The other games, though, were extraordinary.
Horford put up 18, 14, and 13 pops in those three matches. He hit 4, 4, and 3 long-range shots to go with averages of 5+ RPG, 3+ APG, and one block a day. He reached at least 5 FGM in each of those three games shooting 80.9% from the floor (remember: he scored 11 triples while at it) and only turned the ball twice on a measly 12% usage rate. Can't be much more efficient.
Through the season, Horford ranks third in total FP among players with usage rates below 15%. That's mostly thanks to his 0.8 TOPG. Horford's 3+ AST-to-TO ratio is one of the best in the league, and he's one of only seven players averaging 3+ assists per turnover while also scoring 2+ 3PM per game (2.2) having already played 400+ MP through Saturday.
