Hornets' Dwayne Bacon to start if Nicolas Batum (elbow) sits on Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dwayne Bacon is set to start if Nicolas Batum is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
This news comes from acting head coach Stephen Silas, who added Nicolas Batum to the team's injury report today. He is a game-time decision and could be held out with elbow soreness. While Bacon starts, Malik Monk could also see some extra run off the Hornets' bench.
Priced at $3,500, Bacon is projected for 18.0 FanDuel points over 29.5 minutes tonight. He is a top-3 point-per-dollar play at small forward.
