Mark Williams sitting out Tuesday for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams will not be part of the rotation on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, per head coach Steve Clifford.
What It Means:
Clifford said the Hornets will rotate Mark Williams, Nick Richards, and Kai Jones at center for the remainder of the season, with one of them sitting out each night. Williams will be out Tuesday after Richards didn't play versus the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, so Jones will be absent for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
The Thunder are allowing the fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers this season. Richards is averaging 19.7 minutes and 20.0 FanDuel points in games without Williams this season, while Jones averages 12.6 minutes and 10.1 FanDuel points in those situations.
