There’s no sugar-coating that Salaün’s rookie season was disappointing, as he averaged 5.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game. Hopefully, he can use Las Vegas as a springboard into his second NBA season as the Hornets look to improve their standing in a wide-open Eastern Conference. Three-point shooting is an area where Salaün can potentially provide value, even though he was 1-of-6 from beyond the arc on Saturday.

Salaun and Okogie are officially available for Sunday’s game. Neither player has been particularly impactful from a fantasy basketball standpoint, but they will play rotation minutes.

Salaun logged 24 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Raptors, with the absence of multiple rotation players resulting in more playing time for the rookie. Josh Okogie (hamstring) is probable for Sunday’s game and can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Salaun if the rookie cannot play.

A number of key injuries have opened up rotational minutes for Salaun, who has logged at least 24 in each of his last three games. The rebounds easily represent a new career high, and the rookie out of France recorded his second double-double of the season and first since December 3.

Salaun was initially probable for Sunday’s game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. While he will be in the Hornets’ rotation, the rookie is unlikely to get the reps needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Salaun is on track to return after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Thunder. While the rookie would play rotation minutes, he’s unlikely to be productive enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Garrett is on a 10-day contract and may have already played his last game with Charlotte, and Salaun hasn’t played since March 8. Charlotte will be sorely shorthanded in this one, so the Hornets’ available players will be forced to handle additional minutes.

Salaun was recalled from the Hornets’ G League affiliate but will not play on Thursday due to a sprained right ankle. His absence will only impact fantasy basketball if the Hornets are forced to play without Miles Bridges. Bridges is probable for Thursday’s game with an illness.

Salaun will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, while Okogie has not appeared in a game since January 31. The absences will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but more minutes will be available to Seth Curry and Damion Baugh. The latter is worth watching ahead of the “silly season,” as he may be asked to play significant minutes to run out the string.
