7 years agoCharlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum produced one of his best all-around lines of the season against Atlanta on Friday. Batum scored 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting while making three from downtown. He also added four rebounds, eight assists, and one steal. In Batum's last eight games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals. Fantasy owners who have shown patience with Batum coming off injury have been rewarded with the Frenchman's recent play. The Hornets play the second half of a back-to-back on Saturday against Miami. So far this season, Batum's game has not suffered due to consecutive games played in as many days, and he should continue his steady play.--Wai Sallas
