Roberts (hamstring) will sit out Monday's preseason opener versus the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts suffered a hamstring injury less than a week ago and was forced to miss some practice time while recovering. The Hornets are going to play it safe with their 30-year-old guard and hold him out on Monday, as they don't want to risk a further aggravation in what is essentially a meaningless game. With Kemba Walker (knee) also expected to sit out, look for Ramon Sessions to get the start and see the bulk of the minutes at point guard.
