Horford scored 21 - his most in 12 games - and grabbed nine rebounds in Wednesday's win over the Clippers.

Eric Bledsoe, G |
Bledsoe had 20 points and seven assists in Wednesday's win over Houston.
Analysis: After struggling from the field in his last two games - Bledsoe was 8 for 22 - owners might have been worried about lingering effects from his shin injury. He looked fine Wednesday, however, going 7 for 14 with a season-high three 3-pointers on four attempts. |

Analysis: Davis shot 15 of 24 but only pulled down three rebounds in a whopping 50 minutes. While he has been inconsistent since debuting late last month, Davis should probably be owned in all leagues following Tuesday's showing. |
