Jeremy Lamb scores 17 points with 7 rebounds in start for Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb scored 17 points (8-of-13 field goals, 1-of-2 3-pointers) with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 32.5 minutes of Wednesday's 111-105 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

This was a second straight start for Lamb and he should continue to shine while Nicolas Batum (Achilles tendinitis) is sidelined. The Hornets' playoff window is just about shut, which should benefit Lamb's outlook.

Lamb scored 29.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday, compared to his average of 23.9 FanDuel points per game for the season.
