Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Brandon Miller (back) wasn't available for Friday's meeting with the 76ers, so Curry got the start. However, he suffered a sprained right ankle, ending his night prematurely. Nonetheless, the 33-year-old could miss more games moving ahead. But with Miller listed as probable for Sunday, Curry's fantasy potential would have been significantly less than it was heading into Friday's contest.
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin sprained his left ankle against Philadelphia on Friday and wasn't able to finish the game. He soaked in 32 minutes of action before suffering the injury and played well. Martin was Charlotte's lone starter with a positive plus/minus in a 121-114 loss, scoring 12 points and adding four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks to his line. The Hornets also lost Seth Curry (ankle) on Friday and entered the action without Brandon Miller (back), meaning the starting lineup could look very unusual for the team if any of the injuries don't clear up in time for Sunday's contest against Toronto. "I have no idea," said head coach Steve Clifford when asked about the status of Curry and Martin following Friday's game. "... Just hopefully those two guys are Ok. We'll keep our fingers crossed and get ready to go on Sunday."
Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry was forced to an early exit on Friday versus Philadelphia due to a right ankle sprain. Making only his fourth start of the season, the veteran sniper logged 23 minutes before leaving. He had five points with two rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Curry was filling in for Brandon Miller (back) in the starting unit. It could now be Bryce McGowens's turn to enter the starting five if Charlotte can't shake off any of its injuries ahead of Sunday's matchup against Toronto. Vasilije Micic is also in a position to benefit. He logged 28 minutes off the bench on Friday and enjoyed a good outing with 13 points, seven assists, and a pair of steals.
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (back) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Philadelphia. Seth Curry will start in his place. Miller has been downgraded from a questionable status after he wasn't even on the original injury report, which is a strange turn of events. However, Curry won't complain, as he gets a chance to make his fourth start of the campaign. The veteran sniper gets a slight boost in fantasy value with the promotion to the starting unit, but it takes a brave manager to trust Curry. It's also a bad matchup for a three-point specialist like him, as the 76ers are allowing the sixth-fewest three-point makes in the league this season.
Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. After logging 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams is good to go on the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back despite dealing with a lower back contusion. Having grown up in North Carolina, the 25-year-old stretch four has carved out a sizable bench role with the 15-44 Hornets and is providing 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers on 37.8% shooting from deep in 28.1 minutes per game in eight contests since landing at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Williams is worth streaming in fantasy for points and threes as Charlotte's sixth man on Friday, but with this matchup versus the Sixers showing a low 214.5-point implied total, it's probably not the suitable game environment to be digging into the bargain bin for DFS purposes.
