Hornets' Dwayne Bacon starting at shooting guard
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Dwayne Bacon will start in Wednesday's season-opener against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
With Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) and Nicolas Batum (elbow) both sidelined, it's rookie Dwayne Bacon that will draw the start at small forward to kick off the year. The second-round pick played over 30 minutes per game in the preseason.
numberFire's models project Bacon for 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists -- good for 13.5 FanDuel points -- in 20.0 minutes of action in this one. That represents weak value even while he's priced at only $3,000.
