Cody Zeller Falls Just Short Of A Double-Double
Cody Zeller was the third and final force of the Hornets offense on Monday night, as he supplemented the guard play of Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb in a loss to the Indiana Pacers. Zeller was pushing to tally a double-double but fell a rebound short as he posted a stat line of 18 points, nine rebounds and one assist. Zeller crushed his season averages of points and rebounds, and along with his nine boards he tied a game-high five offensive rebounds. The seven-foot center also had a solid night shooting, as he hit six of 11 from the field. Zeller sees action again on Thursday evening against the Orlando Magic, a series in which he is averaging 11 points this season.

Cody Zeller Questionable Saturday
Cody Zeller (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Houston. He was already unavailable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers with a right ankle sprain and might have to sit out another one. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl did a good job off the bench against Cleveland as the backup big to Jones Valanciunas and should get extra work again on Saturday if the Pelicans can't get their frontcourt healthy. However, there aren't many minutes available behind Valanciunas, so Zeller's potential absence for another game won't have much effect in fantasy hoops.

Cody Zeller Available On Monday Night
Cody Zeller (nose) is good to go ahead of Monday's playoff matchup against Denver. The big man was listed on the injury report because of a nasal fracture before this series, so his availability isn't a surprise. However, Zeller has averaged only 6.5 minutes per game in the NBA Finals, meaning he won't offer anything to DFS managers.

Cody Zeller Will Play In Game 3
Cody Zeller (foot) will suit up for Wednesday's Game 3 matchup against the Denver Nuggets. As expected, Zeller will play despite dealing with a sprained right foot. It doesn't sound like the issue is going to limit him, but he doesn't play a big role in the rotation anyway. Zeller is expected to play around 8-10 minutes off the bench, which probably won't be enough to have DFS value.

Cody Zeller Will Suit Up Against Boston
Cody Zeller (nose) is available for Sunday's postseason outing versus the Celtics. The 30-year-old has averaged just 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 points in 9.3 minutes per game during the playoffs. He'll likely see a similar workload for Game 3, meaning DFS managers should stay away from him.
