Willy Hernangomez will start for the Hornets on Thursday while Dwight Howard serves one-game suspension
Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez will draw the start on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Dwight Howard is serving a suspension for his 16th technical foul, so Hernangomez will enter the starting lineup. With Cody Zeller (knee) also still out, Hernangomez should be locked into heavy minutes.
numberFire projects Hernangomez for 21.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,000.
