Charlotte Hornets guard Frank Ntilikina (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ntilikina has been downgraded from questionable for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back. Ish Smith, Nick Smith, and Bryce McGowens should continue to soak up additional minutes in the backcourt.
numberFire's models project McGowens for 21.3 minutes and 13.6 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Hornets' implied total (107.0) and the game total (226.5) are both the lowest of the day.
