Spencer Hawes (knee) officially active for Game 7
Hawes will play off the bench on Sunday but is expected to be limited. He was originally ruled out for the rest of the series and is likely an emergency option with Tyler Hansbrough ruled out. Hawes is a low-end DFS play and is not expected to be owned by many. In this series, Hawes is averaging 7.56 DraftKings fpts in the three games that have been played in Miami, making him a risky option on Sunday.
Spencer Hawes (knee) upgraded to a game-time decision; Tyler Hansbrough (back) ruled out
Hawes has been upgraded and will play off the bench if he does indeed play. Hasbrough has been ruled out but was not a DFS option even when he was active. We should have another update soon regarding Hawes.
Spencer Hawes (knee) ruled out for Friday
An MRI on Hawes' knee revealed an MCL sprain and he is expected to be out at least a week. Hawes was not playing a ton of minutes and Cody Zeller will be the one to pick up his spot in the rotation. There is a chance that Tyler Hansbrough sees a few minutes since Hawes has been ruled out, but he is still not a viable DFS option. With Nicolas Batum coming off the bench, the Hornets could move Marvin Williams back to PF if one of the big men get into foul trouble.
Spencer Hawes (knee) doubtful for Friday
Hawes is the only Hornet on the injury report and is listed as doubtful for Friday's Game 6. Hawes was coming off the bench so expect Cody Zeller to pick up the minutes left by him. If Hawes is ruled out, expect Frank Kaminsky to also get extended minutes with the Hornets down to only Tyler Hansbrough as their other backup big man. Kaminsky is a boom-or-bust option that scored 28 fpts in Game 3 but is still only averaging 13.46 fpts for the series.
