Hornets' Willy Hernangomez to play expanded role Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez is the primary backup for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks.

What It Means:

Bismack Biyombo is replacing Cody Zeller as the starter and Hernangomez will handle the minutes off the bench. Zeller is expected to be a DNP-CD. Hernangomez is averaging just 5.5 points in 10.1 minutes per game this season.

Per our NBA Heat Map, the Knicks-Hornets game has the lowest over/under on the nine-game slate (207.5 points). The Hornets also have the lowest implied total (102.75 points).
