Al Horford's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable because of a toe sprain. But the Celtics will have him on the court to begin the Emirates NBA cup. The 38-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, averaging 8.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season. But he's still a viable fantasy option in deeper setups, even more so in category formats due to his 43.5% shooting from behind the arc.

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the first night of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Celtics rest Horford here. The absence of Horford would mean that Neemias Queta, Luke Kornet, and Xavier Tillman Sr. should see more time in the rotation. Out of the trio, Queta is the best streaming choice if Horford misses this game. Queta is a solid rebounder with seven boards or more in each of his last four games. He has double-double potential with more playing time, so fantasy managers should keep that in mind.

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (rest) won't play on Friday against Charlotte. Horford has averaged 9.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season. He's also shot 60.0% from behind the arc. But the veteran will take the night off before presumably suiting up for the rematch with the Hornets on Saturday. With that said, Luke Kornet will likely take over at the five and is worth starting in all fantasy formats. Xavier Tillman Sr. and Neemias Queta will also draw value attention from DFS participants.

Boston Celtics forward/centerAl Horfordwill be returning for his 18th NBA season next year. Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck was on The Greg Hill Show on WEEI, a local Boston radio station, and said, "Al is coming back for next year. That's what I've been told." At 38 years old, Horford won his first NBA championship on Monday as the Celtics defeated the Mavs 106-88. He's suited up for 186 postseason contests and averaged 33.8 minutes, 12.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks in his career.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford had a special night on Monday as the team finished off Dallas in the 2024 NBA Finals with a 106-88 win. He shook off an unwanted status as the active player with the most playoff appearances without winning an NBA championship. Horford, who made his debut with Atlanta in 2007-08, played in his 186th career playoff game on Monday. He had a good all-around outing with nine points, nine rebounds, two assists, and two steals. The 38-year-old, who also became the first Dominican-born player to win an NBA championship, filled in admirably for Kristaps Porzingis as the starting center throughout the postseason. James Harden is now the record-holder among active players with 166 playoff contests without winning a ring, while Karl Malone has the all-time mark with 193 games.
