Cody Zeller (hand) could return for Hornets on Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (right hand surgery) went through 5-on-5 work at practice on Monday.
Zeller wore a padded glove and said he felt good, indicating he will be able to play on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers for the first time since December 31. Bismack Biyombo and Willy Hernangomez will likely lose playing time with Zeller back.
Zeller averaged 23.5 FanDuel points through 35 games before the injury. numberFire's models expect him to record 11.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game over the remainder of the year.
