Terry Rozier (ankle) doubtful Wednesday for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets point guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is doubtful to play on Wednesday versus the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Rozier is headed for a second straight absence because of an ankle sprain. LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains sidelined as well, so the Hornets are expected to start Dennis Smith Jr. and Kelly Oubre in the backcourt again. James Bouknight and Theo Maledon will also be able to play more minutes off the bench.
numberFire's models project DSJ for 34.8 minutes and 35.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday versus the Knicks. Oubre is projected for 27.7 minutes and 26.6 FanDuel points. In the last game, Oubre scored 38 FanDuel points and led the Hornets' rotation with a 28.4% usage rate. Bouknight scored 17.2 FanDuel points in 17.7 minutes and had the second-highest usage rate (23.1%) in the rotation.
