Al Horford, C, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $6,000

Al Horford has recently seen his role on offense diminish. However, he displayed the upside that comes with his all-around game in his most recent outing, a near-triple double against the Cleveland Cavaliers that yielded 36 FanDuel points.

He'll look to build on that strong outing in an excellent spot tonight, as the Boston Celtics take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston's 113.75-point implied team total is the second-highest on the slate and nearly six points above their season average. The 219.5-point over/under in this game is the second-highest of today's games.

As one of the team's primary offensive facilitators, it should come as no surprise that Horford has posted significantly better numbers in shootouts this season. He's averaged 36.7 FanDuel points with an over/under above 217 points, a number that has risen to 37.6 when Boston has an implied team total of at least 112 points.

He should also be able to take advantage of the matchup against L.A., who ranks 29th in defensive efficiency and dead last in FanDuel points allowed to opposing centers. Everything adds up to a potentially big game for Horford. Let's just hope he is aggressive enough to take advantage of it.
