They still don't have a definitive date for a return to action and the earliest at this point would be December 23. O.J. Mayo will continue handling point guard responsibilities and Michael Carter-Williams will be making some contributions off the bench.

Bayless' -2.3 nERD puts him outside of the top-100. He is averaging 11.7 points and 3.7 assists per game on the season. Against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, we project Mayo to score 11.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals. He has a -4.1 nERD this year.
