Al Horford OVER 9.5 Points -104

After exploding in Game 1 for 26 points, Horford has been in a free fall offensively. His minutes are steady in the 28-32 range, but he’s been completely phased out as a scoring option. He’s averaging 6 FGA per game over the last 3 and has been somewhat efficient from the field (52%). The Celtics have become 2-man game these last 2 losses with Brown and Tatum taking a bulk of the shots, but they need to get back to moving the ball around and keeping the defense honest; it will ultimately pay off for Brown and Tatum come the 4th quarter, where they have struggled immensely. If we take out the Game 2 performance that didn’t go well for the Celtics across the board, Horford is averaging 13.5P for the series. Horford realizes this may be his last chance at a ring and I can’t see him going down without a fight. He’s hit this line in 9 of 10 games where he gets at least 9 FGA, something to watch early.
