LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist) returning Thursday for Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist) is available Thursday against the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Ball is set to return from a three-game absence. That will send Bryce McGowens back to the bench and take Terry Rozier off starting point guard duties. Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has also been cleared to return for the Hornets.

numberFire's models project LaMelo for 34.9 minutes and 44.2 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $9,000 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Hornets’ implied total (114.25) is tied for No. 5 out of 12 active teams today.
