Horents' Jeremy Lamb (knee) is available to play versus Mavericks on Thursday

The Charlotte Hornets' shooting guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is available to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Lamb left Tuesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons early with a knee contusion. With Charlotte facing the league's worst team on Thursday, the Hornets may decide to play it safe with Lamb, who has played in only seven games this season due to a variety of injuries.

In the seven games Lamb has played this year, he has averaged 19.1 fantasy points per game while playing only 17.0 minutes. He is averaging 9.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game with a 0.2 nERD score in 2016-17.
