Hornets' Nicolas Batum: Will start Saturday

Batum (head) will start for Saturday's tilt against the Wizards, Stephanie Ready of Fox Sports Southeast reports.

Analysis:

Batum has missed the past two games due to a migraine headache, but will draw the start for Saturday's game. It continues to be unclear whether or not he'll face a minutes restriction, but the fact that he's in the starting lineup is a good sign for a regular workload. As a result, Jeremy Lamb will head back to the bench and likely see a reduced role.
