Hornets rule out Gordon Hayward (hand) for Monday
The Charlotte Hornets have ruled out guard/forward Gordon Hayward (hand) for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Hayward was able to tough out his hand injury for two games, but missed last night's game against the Sacramento Kings and will now miss tonight's game against the Trail Blazers with the same injury.
Jalen McDaniels started in place of Hayward in last night's close victory over the Kings, scoring 11.4 fantasy points in the process. Our models project him for 10.1 fantasy points in tonight's game, with 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.4 assists.
