Damion Baugh

Both players missed Tuesday's game against Atlanta but were initially listed as probable against New York. They have now officially been cleared to return to the lineup, which means that Damion Baugh and Seth Curry should return to reserve roles.

Baugh was recalled from the G League to start for LaMelo Ball, who sat out Tuesday's game with a right wrist injury. Baugh's rebound and assist production was solid, and he'll be worth streaming whenever Ball misses games. Given how long LaMelo has been dealing with the wrist injury, it would be unsurprising if the Hornets eventually shut him down. Charlotte hosts New York on Thursday, the first of three games it will play to close out Week 20.

The Hornets are without LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges for Tuesday's game, meaning there will be a lot of minutes and shots available. Baugh and Curry move into the starting lineup, and they're worth streaming in deep leagues due to the Hornets' availability issues.

Williams and Ball are off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's win over the Nets. Their returns mean Damion Baugh and Moussa Diabate will head to the bench. Baugh and Diabate should remain in the rotation, but their fantasy ceilings are limited when used in a reserve role.

Charlotte will shuffle its starting lineup yet again, with Baugh drawing his first career start and Diabate filling in at center while Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic are sidelined. Miles Bridges is the only remaining player in this rotation who opened the season as a starter, so expect him to see monster usage. Bridges scored a career-high 46 points in Friday's loss to Cleveland.
