6 years agoCharlotte Hornets guard Nicolas Batum went for 15 points with six rebounds, five assists and two steals while hitting three triples and turning it over just twice across 30 minutes in Friday's 120-88 win against the Orlando Magic. Batum has been rather erratic over the past couple of seasons, and an early elbow injury really hampered him for most of the 2017-18 season. He opened with a five-point stinker on Wednesday against Milwaukee, so this was a much better performance. The swingman is still a useful fantasy option, but have plenty of alternatives on hand due to his propensity for injury.--Daniel Dobish
