Al Horford taking fewer threes for Celtics to improve paint game
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford said he's taking less 3-pointers per game because he's trying to be more aggressive in the paint.
What It Means:
After averaging 4.1 triples per game through the first four months of the season, Horford is only attempting 1.7 per game in March. "With the 3-point shot, I’ve been working on it quite a bit. I feel confident about taking them when I’m open... and just being a little more selective with the shots that I take." His fantasy owners probably don't mind, as his field goal percentage is way up and he's averaging 8.9 points in the paint over his last 13 games.
Our models project Horford for 15.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 32.6 minutes tonight.
