Charlotte listing Nicolas Batum (knee) as doubtful for Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (knee) is doubtful to play Tuesday versus the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Batum is expected to miss 1-2 weeks after going down last Thursday night, but maybe it's possible he recovers in time for Friday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Owners shouldn't count on it, however, meaning Marco Belinelli and Jeremy Lamb will continue to see increased opportunity.
Batum is having a strong year, averaging career-highs in points (15.1) and assists (5.8), to go with 7.4 rebounds, in 34.5 minutes per game. He owns a 0.2 nERD on the season, ranking 123rd in the NBA.
