KJ Simpson, Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Ryan Kalkbrenner will start Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.
The Hornets are without LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton for Sunday’s game, so Simpson has received the starting nod. While his season-long production has not made him worth the risk in fantasy leagues, the opportunity to start raises Simpson’s fantasy ceiling. The other four starters are unchanged, and Kalkbrenner’s playing time may increase with Moussa Diabaté unavailable.
