Cody Zeller (hand) to come off Hornets' bench Tuesday in return

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (hand) will play off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Zeller hasn't played since December 31 and Hornets head coach James Borrego refrained from saying how much the big man would play after the long layoff, so he may be limited in the front end of the Hornets' back-to-back set. They play again on Wednesday in Dallas against the Mavericks. Bismack Biyombo and Willy Hernangomez will see less run with Zeller back.

numberFire's models expect Zeller to play 19.6 minutes and score 18.3 FanDuel points on Tuesday, at a cost of $5,200.
