Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (illness) misses Hornets' Wednesday shootaround

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (food poisoning) did not participate at shootaround and is considered questionable to play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

If Kidd-Gilchrist can't play on Wednesday, LeBron James might go off against a Hornets team that will struggle to find someone to guard him. Nicolas Batum could still be on a minutes limit, so Treveon Graham or Dwayne Bacon might get the call to guard James as well. Jeremy Lamb will also see more playing time if MKG sits out.

If MKG is able to play, our models project him for 16.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,600.
