Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller is expected to come off the bench Wednesday against the Houston Rockets, per head coach James Borrego.
Zeller is probable after missing the past two games with a shoulder issue but Borrego wants to keep Bismack Biyombo in the starting lineup for the sake of continuity. He indicated that Zeller will likely reclaim the starting job moving forward. Wednesday will be the first time Zeller has played since LaMelo Ball (wrist) was lost for the season.
numberFire’s models project Zeller for 22.7 FanDuel points versus the Rockets and he has a salary of $4,400 on Wednesday’s 11-game slate.
