Hornets' Damion Baugh: Not starting vs. New York
Baugh is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
Baugh will return to the bench role due to the return of LaMelo Ball (wrist). Baugh shouldn't carry a lot of upside coming off the bench.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Returns from G League
Charlotte recalled Baugh from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.
With LaMelo Ball (wrist) questionable for Tuesday's game, Baugh could be needed to give the Hornets some minutes out of the backcourt. In 10 appearances for Charlotte this season, Baugh has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.4 minutes per contest. A two-way player, Baugh will be eligible to be active in only seven of the Hornets' remaining 14 games if he suits up Tuesday.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Inactive in Tuesday's win
Baugh (coach's decision) was inactive Tuesday in the Hornets' 105-102 win over the Heat.
Baugh went from starting and playing 29 minutes in the Hornets' previous game Saturday versus the Nets to out of the rotation entirely two days later with LaMelo Ball (ankle) making his return to action. A two-way player, Baugh is eligible to be active for just eight of the Hornets' remaining 18 games, so Charlotte may look to have the 24-year-old suit up primarily on occasions that the team is shorthanded in the backcourt. Before sitting out Monday, Baugh had played in each of Charlotte's previous eight games, averaging 6.3 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.4 minutes per contest while shooting 27.4 percent from the field.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Making first NBA start
Baugh is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Held in check
Baugh finished with four points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and four steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 130-88 loss to the Kings.
It was a quiet night for Baugh, though he did make up for it by racking up a career-high four steals. Overall, he's made a big splash in his first three appearances with the Hornets, averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes. With the Hornets likely to prioritize player development, Baugh is a name to monitor closely.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Strong showing from second unit
Baugh supplied 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six assists and two steals across 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Nuggets.
With LaMelo Ball (ankle) in street clothes, Elfrid Payton got the start at point guard, but it was Baugh who took advantage of the opportunity instead. In his first two NBA appearances, both with Ball out of the lineup, the TCU product has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.5 steals in 29.5 minutes. The Hornets face another back-to-back set Monday in Sacramento and Tuesday at Golden State, during which Ball might get another night off, and Baugh would seem to be the better pivot option for DFS purposes.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Scores 16 points in debut
Baugh ended Wednesday's 102-86 loss to Orlando with 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes.
After signing a two-way deal with the Hornets earlier in the day, Baugh impressed with 16 points off the bench. Charlotte is riddled with injuries at the moment, rolling out a starting lineup that is barely recognizable. It's hard to see Baugh carving out a long-term role at this point.

With the Hornets in the early stages of a rebuild, the 24-year-old Baugh could find his way into extended minutes at some point during the second half of the season, especially if the club continues to contend with injuries.
