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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Elfrid Payton got the start at point guard with LaMelo Ball (ankle) in street clothes, 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.

Impact 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 a starting lineup that is barely recognizable.
