Could make another start

McDaniels made his first career start Sunday night against the Kings, though he played only 15 minutes and finished with four points, two rebounds and a pair of blocks. With both Hayward and Cody Zeller (hip) expected to sit out again, McDaniels may have another chance at an elevated role, but he hasn't demonstrated enough upside to warrant attention in most fantasy formats.

Expected to sit out Monday

If Zeller does, indeed, sit out, it would be the third straight absence for the big man, who continues to deal with a bruised left hip. Bismack Biyombo moved into the lineup at center Sunday against the Kings and finished with six points, four rebounds and three fouls in 20 minutes of action.

Doubtful for Monday night

A bruised right hand kept Hayward out of Sunday's thrilling win over the Kings, and it looks like he's on course to remain out as Charlotte plays the second half of a back-to-back set. Jalen McDaniels got the start in place of Hayward on Sunday and finished with four points, two rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes.
