Willy Hernangomez scores season-high 17 points Monday for Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez scored a season-high 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting Monday, to go with 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in 20 minutes of a 108-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means:

Coach Steve Clifford said before the game that he wanted to get Hernangomez more playing time with Cody Zeller out, and sure enough Hernangomez ended up in the Perfect FanDuel lineup. After the Hornets have a day off Tuesday, they will return to action Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Hernangomez is now averaging 8.9 FanDuel points per game this season.
