Wednesday's game was the first for Salaun since January 17, as he spent some time in the G League and missed a few games due to illness. The rookie hasn't been much of a fantasy asset this season, but there should be opportunities for him to produce between now and the end of the season. While the numbers were modest, Salaun recording a complete stat line was a step in the right direction.
Salaun, who has recently spent some time in the G League, is no longer on the Hornets' injury report. While the lottery pick should play more as the season progresses, especially after the All-Star break, he is not a must-add for Wednesday's game.
Salaun was initially listed as doubtful for this game due to this illness, and now he has officially been ruled out. Salaun has spent the past couple of weeks in the G-League, so his absence won't have an impact on their recent rotation.
The Hornets called up Salaun from the G League over the weekend. The 19-year-old power forward hasn't been a factor in 34 NBA games this season, but impressed with his recent play for the Greensboro Swarm. Salaun is doubtful for Monday's game with an illness, though that won't impact fantasy basketball.
Okogie injured his left hamstring during the third quarter of Friday's loss to the Clippers. Further examination revealed a strain, and he will be re-evaluated in three weeks. In the short term, Okogie's absence will free up minutes for DaQuan Jeffries. However, it's possible that lottery pick Tidjane Salaun, who has been in the G League recently, will play more after the All-Star break.
