Brandon Miller Brandon Miller bounces back with 25 points
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:17 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 25 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 117-86 win over the Nets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Miller got off to a scorching hot start to this game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter without missing a shot. He cooled off after that and wasn't able to turn it into a huge performance, but it was enough for Charlotte to take a massive lead and not give it back. This came two days after he shot 5-of-13 and scored just 13 points in a loss to the Celtics on Sunday. He'll look to keep this going into Thursday's game against the Suns. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté turns in 10/12 double-double
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 4:13 PM
Moussa Diabaté recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs), 12 rebounds and one assist against the Nets.
Analysis: After a quiet performance in Sunday's loss to the Celtics, Diabaté bounced back with his fourth double-double in his last six appearances. Diabaté continues to be a pivotal piece for Charlotte, which has led to some strong performances throughout the season, though they have come inconsistently. They'll need him at his best entering the postseason, and he'll look to have another double-double against the Suns on Thursday. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges tallies 19/5/2/4/1 line vs. Brooklyn
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 3:58 PM
Miles Bridges posted a full line on Tuesday with 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Nets.
Analysis: Bridges set a new season high for steals, and he fell one swipe shy of matching his career high. Entering this game, Bridges had a quiet stretch, and this ended up being his highest-scoring performance since March 14. He'll continue to start and play big minutes, but his box score production has at least partially been limited by lopsided scores. That wasn't the case in this one, and he'll look to stay hot against the Suns on Thursday. |

Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 11:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Williams is good to go after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Celtics. Sion James and Josh Green are likely to see their minutes decrease with Williams back in the rotation. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) ruled out vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 7:07 AM
Charlotte Hornets
Grant Williams (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Williams' absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes among the Hornets' reserves. Sion James and Josh Green could see their minutes increase, and there may be room on the back end of the rotation for Pat Connaughton. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball posts 20 points, eight assists vs. PHI
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:17 PM
LaMelo Ball recorded 20 points (7-of-26 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Ball had an opportunity to tie Saturday's game in the final seconds, but his three-point attempt fell short of the mark. The Hornets' point guard did not shoot the ball well, but the good news was that he kept the turnovers in check, which was not always the case in the past. Ball committed just two turnovers against the 76ers, and the assists and three-pointers were certainly useful to fantasy managers. Ball will look to clean up the shooting when the Hornets host the Celtics on Sunday. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté records double-double vs. 76ers
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:16 PM
Moussa Diabaté finished Saturday's loss to the 76ers with 10 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Analysis: Diabaté has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, with the exception being Friday's blowout win over the Knicks. The Hornets' center, who's rostered in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, has been close to a top-75 player since the All-Star break, according to Basketball Monster. With the Hornets hosting the Celtics on Sunday and then playing four games in Week 23, managers in 12-team leagues where Diabaté is still on the waiver wire should seriously consider adding him. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller hits five triples, scores 29 points
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:16 PM
Brandon Miller tallied 29 points (8-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds and five three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: While he did not record any assists or defensive stats, Miller had a nice afternoon as a scorer and rebounder. The 29 points were the most he's scored in a game in over a month, having tallied 33 in a February 26 win over the Pacers. Since the All-Star break, Miller has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Hornets play once more in Week 22, as they host the Celtics on Sunday. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller hits four triples, scores 21 points
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 3:39 PM
Brandon Miller accounted for 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Miller has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games, including Thursday's win over the Knicks. While he didn't record any defensive stats, the third-year wing has averaged just over one steal per game since the All-Star break. The Hornets have been a much-improved team since January 1, with Miller's continued growth being one reason for the resurgence. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball records 22 points, six assists vs. NYK
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 3:39 PM
LaMelo Ball finished Thursday's win over the Knicks with 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Ball's improvement as a point guard is one of the reasons the Hornets still have a chance to avoid the play-in tournament altogether. He committed just one turnover against the Knicks and shot 50 percent from the field. And since the All-Star break, Ball has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. The version of LaMelo that fantasy managers have seen in 2026 is the one they've been hoping to see for years. |

Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton in, Liam McNeeley out vs. New York
Thu, Mar 26, 2026, 12:00 PM
Charlotte Hornets
Pat Connaughton (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, and Liam McNeeley (illness) is out.
Analysis: Neither player's status affects fantasy basketball, but Connaughton could slide into the back end of the Hornets' rotation. That was unlikely to be the case for McNeeley. |

Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton (illness) questionable vs. NYK
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 11:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pat Connaughton (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Connaughton was not available for Tuesday's win over the Kings, but his absence did not significantly affect the Hornets' rotation. That would remain the case if he can't play against the Knicks. |

Coby White Coby White scores 27 points in 18 minutes
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 5:31 PM
Coby White led the Hornets on Tuesday with 27 points (9-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, one assist and six three-pointers in a 134-90 win over the Kings.
Analysis: For the third time this season, White scored exactly 27 points in a game, which is his season high. After doing it in 23 minutes on Thursday, he only needed 18 minutes in this one. White continues to thrive in limited minutes, which has been helpful for Charlotte as they fight for playoff positioning. He likely won't stay quite this hot, but he is clearly an important piece for this team and should continue to be productive for fantasy managers. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabate turns in 17/11/2/1/2 line vs. Kings
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 5:25 PM
Moussa Diabate recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 17 points (6-of-7 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks against the Kings.
Analysis: Diabate's production has been inconsistent as of late, but he put together a second straight strong performance in another victory. This was his second straight double-double, and he has contributed six stocks while shooting 11-of-13 from the floor during those games. They still have three more games this week for Diabate to continue to shine, just as he has all season. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball tallies 20/6/8/2 line in 23 minutes
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 5:19 PM
LaMelo Ball lit up the Kings with 20 points (7-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and six three-pointers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Ball continues to produce at a high level despite playing limited minutes due to lopsided scores. Over the past two weeks, he ranks inside the top 10 in nine-category leagues while playing just 26.3 minutes per game. Charlotte has won four straight games but will run into a much harder matchup against the Knicks on Thursday. Hopefully, that means more minutes for Ball in a closer game. |

NBA Injury Report
Pat Connaughton (illness) has been ruled out against the Kings on Tuesday.
Analysis: Connaughton will be unavailable, but he has only played a small role for Charlotte this year. His absence won't drastically alter the team's rotation. |

Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton (illness) questionable Tuesday
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 9:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pat Connaughton (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Kings.
Analysis: Connaughton has logged just 27 total minutes across his last six contests, so his availability will not be impactful in the realm of fantasy hoops. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté corrals 14 rebounds vs. Memphis
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 3:27 PM
Moussa Diabaté recorded 11 points (5-of-6 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Before Saturday, Diabaté failed to hit double figures in points in nine consecutive games. He ended that streak against the Grizzlies, putting up 11 points on the night. And the 14 rebounds were the most in a game for Diabaté in just over two weeks, as he last hit that number on March 6 against the Heat. After spraining his wrist on Tuesday, Moussa did not miss any games and played 33 minutes on Saturday. That bodes well for him going into Charlotte's four-game Week 22. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller hits five triples, scores 22 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 3:26 PM
Brandon Miller accounted for 22 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and five three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Miller has scored at least 20 points in two straight and four of his last six games. Against the Grizzlies, he was highly efficient from the field, shooting 66.7 percent. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and this was a good finish to Week 21 for Miller and those rostering him. Charlotte opens a four-game Week 22 on Tuesday against the Kings in what should be another good matchup for Miller. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball scores 29 points in blowout victory
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 3:26 PM
LaMelo Ball finished Saturday's win over the Grizzlies with 29 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and seven three-pointers.
Analysis: Ball and the Hornets did what was expected on Saturday, picking up a 124-101 victory in which they outscored the lottery-bound Grizzlies in all four quarters. Having shot 7-of-20 from deep in his prior two appearances, LaMelo was 7-of-14 against Memphis. Ball and the Hornets begin a four-game Week 22 on Tuesday against the Kings, another team focused on player development and the draft lottery at this point in the season. |
