Nick Richards (foot) inactive Monday for Hornets second leg
Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Richards has been downgraded from questionable for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back. Davis Bertans and JT Thor will likely see more playing time on Monday night. Aleksej Pokusevski (illness) was surprisingly upgraded from doubtful, so he could also factor into the Charlotte frontcourt.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Hornets' implied total (101.25) is second-lowest out of 12 active teams on Monday. The Celtics are also allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
