Nicolas Batum (Achilles) ruled out Tuesday for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (left Achilles soreness) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
The Hornets are really banged up on the wing Tuesday night with Dwayne Bacon (ankle) and Treveon Graham (concussion) already ruled out as well. Jeremy Lamb is probably going to play all the minutes he can handle on Tuesday, while Malik Monk should see 30-plus minutes too. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could also see a small boost in playing time.
Batum is averaging 28.0 FanDuel points per game this season.
