Hornets' Dwayne Bacon to make second straight start on Friday night

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Dwayne Bacon will start again on Friday, reports the Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell.

What It Means:

With Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) and Nicolas Batum (elbow) out, Bacon drew the start at shooting guard as Jeremy Lamb slotted in at small forward. He only logged 20 minutes in his starting role so we probably shouldn't expect big minutes against the Atlanta Hawks tonight. Instead, Malik Monk and Treveon Graham should see substantial minutes off the bench.

In Wednesday's game, Bacon scored 8 points with 2 rebounds and 2 assists for 11.4 FanDuel points. His price has gone from $3,000 to $3,500, but we project him for just 14.3 FanDuel points in 18.4 minutes. He's probably not an ideal target in any format.
