Devonte’ Graham Ruled Out Against Trail Blazers
Make it two straight absences for Devonte’ Graham as he continues to resolve a quadriceps injury. The Charlotte Hornets’ Official PR Twitter account confirmed that Graham would not play against the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night, although P.J. Washington has been cleared to play.
Terry Rozier took over ball-handling with Graham out against the Brooklyn Nets, moving Cody Martin into the starting shooting guard position. We should expect a similar configuration when the Hornets tip-off against the Blazers.
Rozier topped the 40-minute mark and put up 21 shots against the Nets. It was his second straight game playing more than 40 minutes and scoring more than 20 points. Rozier has 102.6 FanDuel Fantasy Points over his last two games and will continue to dictate the Hornets’ offense against the Blazers. FanDuel has Rozier’s salary listed at $7,500 on the main slate.
The Hornets are currently priced as +154 underdogs against the Blazers and are +4.5 on the spread at FanDuel Sportsbook.
