Hornets' Nicolas Batum: Likely to remain out Wednesday

Batum (migraine) didn't practice Tuesday and is expected to remain out Wednesday against the Pacers.

Analysis:

A migraine kept Batum out of action in Monday's loss to the Bulls, and his absence from practice a day later makes it unlikely that he'll travel with the team to Indianapolis ahead of Wednesday's game. The Hornets haven't closed the door on the possibility of Batum making his way to Indianapolis before Wednesday night, but he should be viewed as doubtful to play until the team issues another update. If Batum ends up missing a second straight game Wednesday, expect Jeremy Lamb to make another start at shooting guard after he produced 26 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes Monday.
