Al Horford, C, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $7,400

Al Horford has had a slow return from a groin injury, but if ever there was a spot for a game to get right, it's tonight's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles ranks dead last in defensive efficiency, as well as FanDuel points per game allowed to opposing centers. The Boston Celtics also have a slate-leading 116.25-point implied team total and the over/under in this one sits at 221 points.

Horford put up 46.1 FanDuel points in the one game with an implied team total this high this season and has averaged 36.6 in games with an implied team total of at least 111 points. When there's an over/under of at least 210 points, the big man has averaged 35.6 FanDuel points, as opposed to 32.5 in all other scenarios.

Seemingly the only thing that could keep Horford from a big game is the fact that the Celtics are listed as 11-point favorites and a significant chance of a blowout. This makes him nothing more than a tournament play, but a high upside one thanks to Boston's slate-high implied team total.
