Al Horford starting at center in Thunder debut Saturday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford is in the starting five Saturday in the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Horford was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to Oklahoma City early in the offseason, and he's finally ready to make his debut with his new team. The Thunder's game against the Houston Rockets Wednesday was postponed, making this the season-opener. Joining him will be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, George Hill, Luguentz Dort and Darius Bazley.
Our models currently project Horford for 11.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 28.2 FanDuel points across 32.0 minutes of action.
