Bacon finished with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 28 minutes in the Hornets' win over the Pistons on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Although he made minimal contributions outside of scoring, Bacon produced a serviceable stat line with his 14 points. He's made for a value-play in daily formats over the Hornets' last three games, averaging 23.7 points per game.

Bacon tallied 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 129-115 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon was cooking again Friday, totaling 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting. He now has at least 20 points in three straight games, certainly enjoying life without Nicolas Batum on the floor. Batum was a healthy DNP and although it is unclear if this is a shutdown for the veteran, Bacon could be in for a nice finish to the season.

Bacon registered 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one assist across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 125-116 overtime victory against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon has now started each of the last four games and has improved on each prior outing, setting a new career-high in scoring Tuesday night after he just had broken that record Sunday. The Hornets seem to be willing to invest minutes into Bacon's performance, and alongside Kemba Walker, Bacon should create solid offensive production for the team.

Bacon contributed 20 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 33 minutes during Sunday's 115-114 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon finished with career highs in scoring and threes while drawing yet another start. He has earned at least 30 minutes in consecutive contests, and he has reached double figures in scoring in three of the last four. Nicolas Batum (illness) has been sidelined for the past two tilts, but Bacon entered the starting five with Batum being demoted to a reserve role before the last two games.

Bacon will start Thursday against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Coach James Borrego will opt to change his starting five, sending Nicolas Batum to the bench in favor of Bacon. It's unclear if this will be a permanent decision moving forward. Over the past six games, Bacon has averaged 9.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.8 minutes.

Bacon registered 13 points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-11 FT) and three rebounds across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon continues to see minutes off the bench for the Hornets, but he has done nothing special with his time, averaging just over five points per game this season. His efficiency has been the main culprit lately for lackluster production, as he has shot just 25 percent over his last two games.

Bacon will draw the start Monday against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Nicolas Batum was initially listed as the starter, however he was ruled out just minutes before tip. Bacon's move into the starting five should result in a larger role. It's unclear if Batum will be forced to miss more time going forward, however Bacon could remain in the starting five if Batum is forced to miss more time.

The Hornets recalled Bacon from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon joins the Hornets fresh off turning in a career-best performance with the Swarm on Tuesday, when he put up 39 points (15-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes in the affiliate's 139-125 win over the Capital City Go-Go. He should be available off the bench for the Hornets' contest Wednesday versus the Heat.

Bacon posted 27 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in the 115-114 loss Saturday to Long Island.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon led all players with 27 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome a resilient Long Island squad. The two-way player has made an impact for the Swarm when he's been in the G League, averaging 21.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 16 games.

The Hornets assigned Bacon to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Thursday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bacon played 37 minutes in the Swarm's 122-116 win over the Westchester Knicks on Thursday, finishing with 23 points (7-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals. He'll likely rejoin the parent club ahead of its next game Friday in Brooklyn.
