Al Horford resting for Thunder Wednesday in second leg of back-to-back
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (rest) is out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
Horford will be rested on the second leg of the back-to-back set. The Thunder haven't specified what their policy is for Horford on back-to-backs this season, but he's been held out of the second game both times to start the year. Isaiah Roby drew the start in Horford's place last time and had a career day with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 1 3-pointer. Mike Muscala and Aleksej Pokusevski should also see additional minutes off the bench.
Roby scored 35.4 FanDuel points in his last start and he has a salary of $4,100 on Wednesday's seven-game slate. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Thunder are tied for the lowest implied total (105.3 points) on Wednesday.
