Cody Zeller's (quad) status in air Wednesday for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (right quad) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Golden State Warriors.
"The problem initially was kind of the swelling. My whole leg had bruising from my knee to my hip," Zeller said. "I wore a compression sleeve to flush out some of that swelling, but it turned into bruising and that was crazy. The swelling went all the way down into my calf and my foot, just from the gravity carrying it down." Zeller was already considered unlikely for Wednesday, so we expect him to miss a fifth straight contest. Roy Hibbert is in line for another start with Spencer Hawes backing him up, but neither makes for an attractive DFS option in a tough matchup.
If you must, our models prefer Hawes for fantasy purposes on Wednesday night, and we project him to score 6.9 points while pulling down 4.3 rebounds and handing out 1.5 assists over 17.7 minutes.
