Jeremy Lamb scores 15 points in start for the Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb scored 15 points with 4 rebounds, and 2 assists as he started at shooting guard on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Lamb was starting at the 2-guard in place of an injured Nicolas Batum on Wednesday. He will likely continue to do so until Batum can return in late-December/January. Lamb was 4-for-10 from the field and 7-for-8 from the line as he played 28.4 minutes in an overall balanced performance.

Lamb posted 6.8x value on on Wednesday as he scored 23.8 FanDuel points while costing just $3,500. He is projected for more of the same on Friday with 21.4 fantasy points but at likely a higher price tag against the Atlanta Hawks.
