Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Gordon Hayward will suit up Saturday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Hayward has missed 22 straight games due to a sprained left ankle dating back to February 7. But now, with the end of the regular season approaching, the veteran has been cleared to play. Head coach James Borrego hinted at a potential minutes restriction, but nothing seems set in stone on that end. One would assume Hayward is set to start again as well, so that should likely send PJ Washington back to a bench role.
Our models project Hayward 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 23.0 FanDuel points across 24.5 minutes of action.
