Warriors' Al Horford: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Horford (sciatica) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.
As expected, Horford will shake off his probable tag due to right sciatic nerve irritation. The veteran big man has averaged 9.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game across his last three outings. However, he's likely to see a bump in playing time Friday with Draymond Green (rest), Jimmy Butler (illness) and Jonathan Kuminga (back) sidelined.

Warriors' Al Horford: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed prior to Sunday's 141-127 overtime loss to the Raptors that Horford will sit out Monday against the Nets for rest purposes, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
In what's been the standard protocol for Horford for the last few seasons, the veteran big man will sit out one half of a back-to-back set. During Sunday's loss, Horford logged seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two blocks across 17 minutes. Horford should be back in action Wednesday at Charlotte.

Warriors' Al Horford: Excellent line in limited minutes
Rotowire
Horford (sciatica) tallied 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 11 minutes Thursday in the Warriors' 126-116 win over the Mavericks.
Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 4 after missing the Warriors' previous seven games due to right sciatic nerve irritation, Horford was operating with a significant minutes restriction but still delivered solid production during his limited time on the court. Prior to missing time with the injury, Horford was averaging 21.4 minutes per game in 13 appearances, so despite his solid showing Thursday, he's unlikely to see enough playing time once he's fully ramped up to draw much intrigue outside of deeper fantasy leagues.
