Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (knee) officially ruled out for Hornets Monday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (left knee strain) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Kidd-Gilchrist went from probable to doubtful to out for this one. Marvin Williams (illness) and Cody Zeller (knee) are also unavailable, so look for Frank Kaminsky to see a boost. Miles Bridges and Jeremy Lamb may also be asked to take on more work.

MKG is averaging 16.2 FanDuel points in 55 games this season. numberFire's models expect him to record 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest over the remainder of the year.
