Hornets' Aleksej Pokusevski (illness) available Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Pokusevski has surprisingly been cleared after being listed as doubtful. Nick Richards (foot) will miss the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back, so Pokusevski could see additional minutes in the frontcourt.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Hornets' implied total (101.25) is second-lowest out of 12 active teams on Monday.
