Hornets' Kemba Walker: Doubtful vs. Milwaukee on Monday

Walker is listed as doubtful on the Hornets' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks with left knee soreness.

Analysis:

Walker has likely been playing through the issue for a number of games while the Hornets have attempted to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, but now that the team is officially eliminated, it looks like coach Steve Clifford is leaning toward giving the star point guard a breather for the front end of a back-to-back set. Brian Roberts, Walker's primary backup in recent games, would likely be the top candidate to start and take on the bulk of the minutes at point guard, but Briante Weber and Ramon Sessions could also factor into the equation. None of the three players figure to carry much appeal in DFS contests.
