Both players should be good to go against Sacramento, though Gibson's place in the rotation isn't as significant with both Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic available. Curry has been starting for Charlotte and should remain in that role despite lower back tightness.
Nurkic was the nominal starting center, though he logged limited minutes and ceded playing time to the likes of Taj Gibson and Moussa Diabate. His 22 minutes were enough time to help fantasy managers, as he concluded with a big double-double, meaningful defensive contributions and even a pair of triples. Nurkic is worth streaming when Mark Williams is out, but be weary of Charlotte's minutes distribution.
The Hornets are without Josh Green and Mark Williams for Sunday's game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Okogie and Nurkic fill the resulting voids, and both players have deep-league streaming value in these roles.
Williams continues to manage a foot injury. With the 23-year-old center out Sunday against the Pelicans, expect Jusuf Nurkic to take his place in the starting lineup. Nurkic is worthy of streaming consideration.
Ball and Williams are off the injury report after sitting out Friday's loss to the Thunder. They'll occupy their usual places in the starting lineup, with KJ Simpson and Jusuf Nurkic heading to the bench.
