Malik Monk Expected to Play on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk was in the G-League, but has been recalled and is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Tony Parker (back) is not expected to play, so Monk should see minutes as the backup point guard to Kemba Walker.

Tony Parker Ruled Out on Monday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Tony Parker Tagged As Doubtful For Monday’s Contest

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/9/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will be sidelined for Wednesday’s outing against the Dallas Mavericks due to a back strain.
