Hairston (quadriceps) has been cleared to play Monday against the Kings.

Analysis:

Both Hairston and Cody Zeller (ankle) were listed as questionable for the contest, but the duo will now be available on Monday night after completing morning shootaround drills without incident. It remains undetermined if Hairston will immediately reclaim his starting spot at shooting guard following a three-game absence. The Hornets deployed Jeremy Lin in that role last Friday against the 76ers, and while he only provided nine points in that contest, he's typically offered more scoring punch than Hairston has this season.
