Hornets' Jeremy Lamb to start for injured Nicolas Batum (elbow) Friday night
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb will draw his 13th start of the season in place of Nicolas Batum, who is out with an elbow injury.
What It Means:
Lamb started a dozen game earlier this season in place of Batum. In those games, he excelled while averaging 16.7 points (46.8% shooting) on 30.3 minutes a game. He makes for a great target, with Malik Monk likely to see minutes off the bench on Friday.
At $5,500, Lamb is projected for 32.3 minutes and 30.5 FanDuel points in his matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
