Gordon Hayward (hip) probable for Hornets Thursday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Gordon Hayward (hip) is probable to play Thursday against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
This is great news after Hayward left Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks in the third quarter with a left hip strain and did not return. He was averaging 29.3 points over his previous four contests, including a 44-point outing. Hayward is shooting over 40 percent from beyond the arc for the first time since 2012-13 when he was a member of the Utah Jazz.
numberFire’s models project Hayward for 29.3 FanDuel points versus the Raptors and he has a salary of $7,800 on Thursday’s five-game slate. The Raptors of The South are allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points per game this season.
