What It Means:

Rozier, who was previously considered doubtful, will miss a second straight game because of an ankle sprain. LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains sidelined as well, so the Hornets are expected to start Dennis Smith Jr. and Kelly Oubre in the backcourt again. James Bouknight and Theo Maledon will also be able to play more minutes off the bench.

DSJ is one of numberFire's top-projected value plays at guard on Wednesday. He has a $6,500 salary and our models project him for 33.4 minutes and 34.3 FanDuel points. Oubre ($6,200) is projected for 31.4 minutes and 30.4 FanDuel points. In the last game, Oubre scored 38 FanDuel points and led the Hornets' rotation with a 28.4% usage rate. Bouknight scored 17.2 FanDuel points in 17.7 minutes and had the second-highest usage rate (23.1%) in the rotation.
