Cody Martin

This will be a third straight absence for Martin due to a sports hernia. Josh Okogie has played a significant role off the bench recently, and that will continue with Martin sidelined.

Already dealing with tightness in his left groin, Martin will miss a second straight game with tightness in his core. His absence on Saturday coincided with Miles Bridges' return, so Martin's status will not impact fantasy basketball.

Bridges is back in the lineup after sitting out Friday's loss to Portland. The Hornets are without Cody Martin, who started in Bridges' absence, so no one will head to the bench. Look for Bridges to take on his usual workload.

Bridges did not play in Friday's loss to Portland, sitting due to lower back spasms. He's on track to be available for Saturday night, returning to the starting lineup. Cody Martin (core) has already been ruled out, opening up Bridges' place in the starting five.

Martin has been dealing with tightness in his left groin recently, and that injury forced him out of Friday's loss to Portland after playing five minutes. He won't play on Saturday, but the Hornets have sighted core tightness as the reason. Martin's absence won't impact fantasy basketball, especially with regular starter Miles Bridges (back) expected to play.
