Hornets to continue giving Jeremy Lamb minutes when Nicolas Batum (elbow) returns

Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford said that he plans to give guard/forward Jeremy Lamb minutes when both Nicolas Batum (elbow) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) return to the team.

What It Means:

Clifford said that Lamb's role could change but it's still possible that he starts given his success. The 25-year-old is averaging career-highs across-the-board while shooting 47.2% from the field and 45.5% from downtown. Kidd-Gilchrist will be back Friday while Batum is set to make his season debut November 15th against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Averaging 29.3 FanDuel points per game this season, Lamb is projected for averages of 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds across 21.8 minutes per game the rest of the way.
