Al Horford has averaged 34.2 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 7.0 higher than he's averaged overall this season.The Oklahoma City Thunder have played at the 5th-fastest pace-of-play in the league over the last 10 games, which should raise opportunities for the Celtics.The Boston Celtics have been the 7th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create new chances for scoring and assists).Al Horford will likely get a boost in productivity in all facets of the game in light of controlling the home court advantage in this matchup.
