Al Horford (personal) ruled out again for Thunder Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (personal) will not play again Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Horford will miss a fourth straight contest. As a result, Isaiah Roby will likely make another start. The second-year big has averaged 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 26.0 minutes in three starts this season. On the defensive side of things, Roby is sure to have his hands full with Nikola Jokic after only having to deal with Wendell Carter and Marc Gasol his past two starts.
Roby is averaging 28.2 FanDuel points per start with a 20.9 usage percentage. numberFire's models project him for 21.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday versus the Nuggets. He has a salary of $4,500 for the short two-game slate.
