Hornets' Cody Zeller (illness) doubtful for Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (illness) is not expected to suit up tonight against the Houston Rockets after missing Tuesday's shootaround.
What It Means:
If Zeller can't play, Roy Hibbert will likely move into the starting lineup, while Spencer Hawes should also see an up-tick in minutes. In six games without Zeller in the lineup this season, Hibbert is averaging only 17.8 minutes per game compared to Hawes' 26.0, so that starting designation doesn't appear especially important.
If Zeller does end up playing, we project him for 12.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 29.3 minutes of action.
