Nicolas Batum (Achilles) is doubtful for Hornets on Monday
Charlotte Hornets guard Nicolas Batum (Achilles) is doubtful to play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
The Hornets say Batum is day-to-day with Achilles soreness, and with Charlotte 7.5 games back of the 8th seed with 12 games to go, it's beginning to look like the Hornets will play Batum's injury very conservatively. Assuming Batum is out Monday, Jeremy Lamb, Treveon Graham, and Malik Monk could all gain some playing time.
Batum is averaging 28.6 FanDuel points per game this season.
