McGowens is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon Hayward (illness) is being held out Saturday, and the Hornets were already shorthanded before that news dropped. McGowens is likely to see a heavy workload and more usage than he usually does Saturday evening. In his one previous start this season, McGowens had 14 points, three assists, two rebounds, one block and four triples.
