Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Starting vs. Detroit

Diabate is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Miles Bridges (knee) is out for Thursday's contest, meaning Grant Williams will slide to power forward while Diabate will get the nod at center. This will be Diabate's first start of the season. The big man is averaging 4.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in 10 outings in November.
