Josh Green

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.

Green is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves, with his return pushing Nick Smith Jr. to the bench. The other change is Nurkic, who will fill the void left by Mark Williams. Nurkic is already rostered in most standard leagues, while Green hasn't done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Initially probable for Friday's game, Ball and Green are officially available. They'll take their usual places in the Hornets' starting lineup, so fantasy managers must ensure that Ball is in their lineups before lock time. Green remains a player who does not need to be rostered in most leagues.

Green missed Wednesday's game, which allowed DaQuan Jeffries to move into the starting lineup. Jeffries will likely return to the bench with Green expected back after he contributed just six points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.

The Hornets are without Josh Green for Wednesday's game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Jeffries has been tasked to fill the void, and he's the player most likely to begin the game defending Anthony Edwards. Due to the spot start, Jeffries is worth streaming in deep leagues.
