Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (eye) is a late scratch against the Houston Rockets on Monday.
Batum must have suffered the injury during warmups as he was listed as a starter for tonight. With Batum out, Dwayne Bacon will get the start in his place.
Batum has averaged 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 32.2 minutes per game this season.
