Kelly Oubre Jr. Out Against Hornets
2 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is out for Friday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Oubre is experiencing soreness in his right shoulder, and it's enough to keep him out on Friday. The 28-year-old swingman is losing steam over his last five games (three starts), amassing only 9.6 points on 36.4% shooting from the floor, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 swipes in 29.0 minutes per contest. Oubre looks to return on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. A great matchup with a dismal Hornets team is in store for Kyle Lowry, Oubre's replacement in Philly's first unit, as Charlotte owns the fourth-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.1) and are allowing the fourth-worst opponent field-goal percentage (49.6%) in basketball. Lowry is worth streaming in season-long fantasy leagues in a pinch, and the veteran floor general is a decent budget option in DFS on Friday.
