6 years agoCharlotte Hornets small forward Nicolas Batum contributed just eight points on two of 10 shooting in a season-high 42 minutes versus the Miami Heat on Saturday night. The 10-year veteran is struggling with his shot in the early going, as the game marked the second time he was held to just two made field goals, although both of his makes against the Heat were three-pointers. He also added four rebounds, four assists and one steal. Batum's fantasy value is highly dependent on him producing an all-around game, as he has not been an efficient scorer during his first three seasons in Charlotte. Going forward, expect the versatile 29-year-old to see plenty of minutes at the two and three possessions and put up around 10 shots as well as grab a handful of rebounds and dole out several dimes a game.--Daniel Benjamin
