Hansbrough is the likely starter at power forward Wednesday against the Hornets with Amir Johnson (ankle) sitting out for a second straight game, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 reports.

Analysis:

In three games as a starter this season, Hansbrough has averaged 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 29 minutes per game. He put up 18 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block in Saturday's loss to the Celtics while starting in place of Johnson. Hansbrough has a high enough ceiling to consider using in daily games, but his production is erratic, making him a risky play.
