Charlotte's Gordon Hayward (hip) ruled out on Thursday, Caleb Martin to start
Charlotte Hornets guard / forward Gordon Hayward (hip) will not play in Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Hayward will not be available after the Hornets' star was downgraded with a hip injury. In a new role with Charlotte's starting unit, expect Caleb Martin to see a usage bump on Thursday. According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 100.8 minutes this season with Hayward off the court, Martin is averaging 1.17 FanDuel points per minute and a 21.0% usage rate.
Our models currently project Martin to score 17.8 FanDuel points at the salary of $3,700.
