Nicolas Batum (toe) will not play Monday against the Kings

Batum (toe) will not play Monday against the Kings, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Batum will miss a third straight game as he rests the sprained toe on his right foot. With Jeremy Lamb also out, look for P.J. Hairston and Jeremy Lin to both see increased roles in the backcourt. Batum should be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Utah.
