Gordon Hayward (calf) nearing return for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Gordon Hayward (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Hayward is nearing a return to game action for the first time since December 26. The Hornets will likely limit his minutes, but they also might want to showcase the veteran before Thursday's trade deadline. Hayward's return could result in fewer opportunities for Cody Martin (knee), Nick Smith, and Brandon Miller.
numberFire's models project Hayward for 19.5 minutes and 17.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Martin is averaging an additional 5.6 minutes and 4.0 FanDuel points in games without Hayward.
