Hornets rule out Gordon Hayward (hamstring) on Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Hayward will not be available for the second half of their back-to-back with a left hamstring strain. In a matchup versus a Suns' team ranked third (37.4) in FanDuel points allowed per game to small forwards, expect Jalen McDaniels to see more minutes.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 977.7 minutes this season with Hayward off the floor, McDaniels is averaging 0.83 FanDuel points per minute and a 17.2% usage rate.
