Horford moved into the starting lineup with Draymond Green being a late scratch due to a back injury. It's a shame that news wasn't available earlier because Horford had a monster game in Green's absence. The 39-year-old power forward made six three-pointers on his way to 22 points. He also had seven assists and three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. Horford could be worth streaming if Green is unable to make it back for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

In a rough turn of events for fantasy managers who have Green rostered, he has been scratched after the Warriors announced him as a starter. Al Horford is the replacement in the starting lineup, but he can't help fantasy managers in the short term, as the announcement was made right at the listed 3:30 PM Eastern tip time.

Horford is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Sunday.
