Nicolas Batum Should Play on Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed the last four games due to left hand discomfort.

He's dealing with soreness in his left foot, so it's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined.

Jae Crowder is Expected to Play on Monday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Miami Heat.
