Gordon Hayward, Cody Martin Both Remain Out Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forwards Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Cody Martin (knee) have been ruled out Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Jalen McDaniels will continue […]
Herbert Jones Out As Expected Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back) will not play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Jones was doubtful to play so there was not much optimism in his availability.

Dorian Finney-Smith Starting Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
