Besides the OKC loss, their defense had been trending in the right direction. Their transition defense has been worse, and they have been giving up more C&S stuff recently. They\u2019ll get a Hornets team that\u2019s on a B2B and should be managing their team. For the last 30 days, the Hornets have been fourth in offensive rating thanks to being the best team in the league at putback points per miss. They\u2019ve been a tough team to rebound against all year, but they are more vulnerable at the basket. With the Hornets not giving up much on C&S, it presents a great spot for the on-ball Cavs guys.<\/span><\/p>\n *This sets up as an amazing spot for Donovan Mitchell<\/strong>. In the last two games without Darius Garland<\/strong>, he dominated the ball with 16.0 potential assists and 6.1 minutes of touch time. The Hornets do give it up to lead guards, and it should be Kon Knueppel<\/strong> on him. I love Donny today in a tighter spread and not on a B2B.<\/span><\/p>\n *Evan Mobley<\/strong>\u2019s matchup isn\u2019t perfect with Miles Bridges<\/strong> on him, and the Hornets are doing much better with their paint protection. Kenny<\/strong> Atkinson<\/strong> also isn\u2019t really staggering Mobley away from Mitchell to keep him from some stronger usage.<\/span><\/p>\n *Jarrett Allen<\/strong> is getting staggered away from the Mobley-Mitchell duo, but this isn\u2019t the best spot with the Hornets rebounding it so well right now. Allen\u2019s paint touches have still been solid without Garland at 9.0 per game in the last two, and he should be screening more for Mitchell. I don\u2019t love it here for him.<\/span><\/p>\n *LaMelo Ball<\/strong> on a B2B makes him too tough to play. There\u2019s a chance that he comes off the bench again, and he doesn\u2019t get a great matchup anyway against Jaylon Tyson<\/strong> and a team that\u2019s very good in PNR handler defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our team includes renowned fantasy analysts Drew Dinkmeyer<\/strong>\u00a0and Mike Gallagher<\/strong>, high-stakes professional DFS players<\/strong>, and a team of analysts<\/strong> working together to create high-quality projections and content.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t sell lineups or claim to have all of the answers.
