Marvin Williams

Marvin Williams (ankle) will start in return for Hornets on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams will start against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

What It Means:

Williams missed the past four games. His return will likely send Frank Kaminsky back to the Hornets' second unit and could mean less usage for Nicolas Batum.

Williams is averaging 19.3 FanDuel points in 49 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 2.2 3-pointers per game.
