Hibbert will start at center for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Cody Zeller is dealing with a quad injury and has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest, so the Hornets are opting to go with Hibbert as their starting center against the Warriors. With Zeller out, Hibbert should see a slight bump in minutes, although it wouldn't be surprising if Spencer Hawes ended up being the bigger beneficiary Wednesday.

Hibbert posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 107-85 win over the Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert's 16 points were a season-high and just the third time he's eclipsed 10 points since Dec. 1. Suffice to say, Hibbert is not a relevant fantasy player in pretty much any format.

Hibbert will start at center for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-game stint in the starting lineup, Hibbert was back in a bench role Saturday against the Spurs, as Cody Zeller had finally passed through the league-mandated concussion protocol. However, Zeller is now dealing with an illness and will yet again be on the sidelines, giving Hibbert another opportunity to work with the top unit. Hibbert will still be limited to minutes in the high-teens-to-low-20's despite the promotion, with Spencer Hawes the more likely candidate to see a bigger role than usual.

Hibbert posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds in 15 minutes during Saturday's 102-85 loss to San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time Hibbert has scored in double-digits since December 1st when he put up 11 points against Dallas. Hibbert's playing time is still consistently hovering around 15-20 minutes per game, however, so it's a safe bet to assume Saturday to be an anomaly rather than an improvement.

Hibbert is drawing a spot start at center in Monday's tilt verus the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

With Cody Zeller sidelined, Hibbert will draw his sixth start of the season. He is averaging 6.2 points, 3.2 boards, 1.0 assists, and 1.0 blocks in just 16.2 minutes as a starter this season. While he will likely push the 20 minute mark, the big man still holds little upside in this contest.

Hibbert came off the bench and produced four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 21 minutes in Friday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the previous three games at center, Hibbert settled back into his usual reserve role with Cody Zeller (shoulder) returning to action. Though the two big men roughly ended up splitting the minutes at the position Friday, it's expected that Zeller will dominate the playing time once he puts the shoulder issue further in the rear-view mirror. Hibbert doesn't offer much fantasy intrigue while he remains a member of the second unit, even in most deeper formats.

Hibbert will make a second straight start at center Monday against Memphis but will be limited to about 18 minutes, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Cody Zeller (shoulder) still sidelined, Hibbert will again start at center but will have his minutes monitored, likely as a result of a troublesome knee that bothered him earlier in the month. In Saturday's loss to the Pelicans, Hibbert played only 17 minutes, while Frank Kaminsky saw 36 minutes off the bench. Expect a similar situation Monday, with Spencer Hawes also in line for additional playing time.

Hibbert will draw his third start of the season in Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert started the first two games of the season before missing the next five with a knee injury. He has returned to a reserve role the previous four games while playing 14 minutes per contest. He should see an increased workload Saturday, thanks to Cody Zeller's absence. Frank Kaminsky will also presumably see an increased role.

HIbbert played 17 minutes in Friday's 100-96 win over the Hawks, producing one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds.

EDGE Analysis

The Hornets initially planned to restrict HIbbert's playing time upon his return from a sore knee last week, and even though he's endured no setbacks in his first four games back, it appears that a sub-20-minute role is the new reality for the center. The 17 minutes he received Friday were Hibbert's most in the four games, as Cody Zeller seems to have fully gained the confidence of coach Steve Clifford as the team's starting center. Hibbert can probably be dropped in most formats at this point.

Hibbert (knee) will have his minutes restricted during Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hibbert continues to deal with soreness in his knee, but is slated to play through the pain in limited fashion. Cody Zeller figures to start and see a majority of the minutes at center.
