Swats four shots Wednesday Horton-Tucker finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four blocks and three assists across 30 minutes Wednesday in the Lakers' 106-101 win over the Jazz. Impact After pouring in a combined 31 points over the past two games, Horton-Tucker's offense went missing Wednesday, but the season-high four blocks helped make his final line more palatable. The third-year wing has performed respectably in the two defensive categories (0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks per game) this season, but his fantasy value likely won't skyrocket until he develops a more reliable outside stroke, as he's shooting only 27.3 percent from three-point range. Nonetheless, Horton-Tucker could see some extra playing time while taking on a more prominent role on offense for the Lakers coming out of the All-Star break, as Anthony Davis is expected to be sidelined until at least early March after spraining his ankle Wednesday.
