Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté records 12/10/6 line, two blocks
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 8:46 AM
Moussa Diabaté finished Saturday's win over the Spurs with 12 points (6-of-9 FGs), 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots.
Analysis: Facing countryman Victor Wembanyama, Diabaté held his own on Saturday. In addition to recording his third double-double in five games and 13th of the season, the Hornets' forward/center's six assists were a season-high. Rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Diabaté appears to have locked down the starting center job. Even with the Hornets playing three games in Week 16, now is the time to add Moussa if he's sitting on the waiver wire. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball records 16 points, eight assists
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 8:46 AM
LaMelo Ball tallied 16 points (5-of-15 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Spurs.
Analysis: While Ball didn't have the best day shooting the basketball, including a 3-of-9 afternoon from inside the arc, his work as a playmaker helped the Hornets extend their win streak to six games. During the run, the Hornets' point guard's assist-to-turnover ratio has been excellent, with Ball recording 47 assists and 17 turnovers. He's shooting just 36.5 percent from the field over the last two weeks, which has negatively affected Ball's fantasy value. That said, fantasy managers should be encouraged by the decrease in turnovers. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton contributes 21 points vs. SAS
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 8:45 AM
Collin Sexton accounted for 21 points (7-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Spurs.
Analysis: Having totaled 24 points on 8-of-27 shooting in his three prior appearances, Sexton needed a day like Saturday to snap out of his mini-slump. The Hornets guard was a perfect 5-on-5 from beyond the arc, knocking down two within the first three minutes of the fourth quarter. With Charlotte's perimeter starters being healthy, Sexton offers limited fantasy value. But he's capable of providing a spark off the bench, which was the case on Saturday. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller scores game-high 26 points vs. SAS
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 8:44 AM
Brandon Miller finished Saturday's win over the Spurs with 26 points (7-of-21 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Miller and the Hornets have now won six consecutive games, the franchise's longest win streak since March 2016. And he's been on a roll recently, scoring at least 20 points in 10 straight games. Another impressive streak for Miller is that he's made his last 38 free throws. Over the past two weeks, he has provided first-round per-game value in 12-team leagues. The Hornets play three games in Week 16, starting with the Pelicans on Monday. |

Josh Green Josh Green (Achilles) available vs. San Antonio
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 5:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Josh Green (Achilles) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Green was initially listed as probable for Saturday's game, so the upgrade was expected. While he'll be part of the rotation due to his defense, the 2020 first-round pick is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) off injury report vs. Spurs
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 11:28 AM
Charlotte Hornets PR
Grant Williams (knee) is not on the injury report against the Spurs on Satruday.
Analysis: Williams missed Thursday's game, but he will return to take on San Antonio. That was the second night of a back-to-back, so it isn't surprising that he was out after missing over a year of games. He'll be back playing a reserve role down low, which hasn't yielded much fantasy production. |

Josh Green Josh Green (Achilles) probable vs. San Antonio
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 11:25 AM
Charlotte Hornets PR
Josh Green (Achilles) is probable to play against the Spurs on Saturday.
Analysis: Green has popped up on the injury report with an Achilles issue, but it isn't expected to keep him on the sidelines. This game has been moved up from 3 p.m. eastern to noon eastern due to expected inclement weather, so fantasy managers should adjust their lineups earlier than usual. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges tallies 17/8/8/1/2 line vs. Dallas
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:10 PM
Miles Bridges posted a full line on Thursday with 17 points (7-of-17 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Bridges has had some rough performances in January, but this was a solid one. He came close to recording a triple-double, and he was able to contribute on the defensive end, which he hasn't been able to do often this year. He had shot better than 50 percent in three straight games prior to this one, and he'll look to get back to his hot shooting ways against the Spurs on Saturday. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller stays hot with 23 points vs. Dallas
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:05 PM
Brandon Miller finished with 23 points (7-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers on Thursday against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Miller's start to the season wasn't pretty, but he has flipped the switch recently. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in five straight games. This wasn't his best performance of the stretch, but he has been on another level offensively, which has led to elite production for fantasy managers. He'll look to stay hot against the Spurs on Saturday to wrap up the week. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) is out on Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 8:50 AM
Grant Williams is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks with right knee injury management.
Analysis: The Hornets have been cautious with Williams as he returns from offseason knee surgery. He's averaging just under 19 minutes per game over the last two weeks, so his role isn't a huge one to fill. Charlotte will likely give more minutes to Tidjane Salaun. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller goes for 26 points in win over MEM
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 6:05 PM
Brandon Miller logged 26 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists and four three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: Miller's stellar play continued on Wednesday. He was great from behind the three-point line and used his production there to help extend his streak of double-digit scoring performances to eight games. The third-year forward wasn't a major contributor across any other statistical category, but his recent run as a scorer should leave many optimistic about what his future could look like. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté secures 18/19 double-double vs. MEM
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:58 PM
Moussa Diabaté amassed 18 points (8-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 19 rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in the in over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: Diabaté did a little bit of everything for the Hornets in what ended up being arguably his best game as an NBA player. He was accurate from the floor in his 33 minutes of game action and all over the glass, leaving him just shy of a 20-point, 20-rebound performance. Additionally, the fourth-year center provided fantasy managers with a few stocks, helping boost his final stat line in the win. Diabaté continues to play well for Charlotte. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges scores 20 points in win over Memphis
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:49 PM
Miles Bridges tallied 20 points (8-of-11 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, and four three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: Bridges played just 28 minutes on Wednesday and, despite not generating many shot attempts, he scored efficiently and finished as one of two starters to log 20 or more points. More than half of his scoring production came from beyond the arc, which keyed his success on the offensive end of the floor. The veteran forward did a little bit on the glass, but not too much else in this game. He'll next take the floor against the Mavericks on Thursday. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball dishes out eight assists vs. PHI
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:33 AM
LaMelo Ball amassed 11 points (4-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Recently, the Hornets have taken measures to manage Ball's workload, so the training staff must have loved Monday's outcome. Charlotte won by a large margin, beating the 76ers 130-93, which led to Ball playing only 20 minutes. Fantasy managers who have him rostered would have hoped for a more competitive game given the impact on Ball's playing time, but keeping him healthy throughout the season is Charlotte's priority. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller records 30/8/2/2 line vs. PHI
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:32 AM
Brandon Miller finished Monday's rout of the 76ers with 30 points (9-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Monday's game was one of the best of the season for Miller, and not just because he notched his third 30-point game. The third-year wing only needed to attempt 12 shots from the field to get the job done, shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. And with the Hornets leading by as much as 50, Miller did not play at all during the fourth quarter. He's been on a roll recently, having scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton (hamstring) available Monday
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 7:54 AM
NBA Injury Report
Collin Sexton (hamstring) is available for Monday's matchup with the 76ers.
Analysis: Sexton has done most of his damage off the bench this season, and if he's not in the starting lineup, his availability doesn't have a major impact in the realm of fantasy hoops. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton (hamstring) questionable Monday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:03 AM
Charlotte Hornets
Collin Sexton (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: While Sexton's availability does affect the Hornets' bench rotation, it will not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball. Tre Mann may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, but there's no need to roster him in redraft leagues. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté has double-double in win Saturday
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:27 AM
Moussa Diabaté had 11 points (2-of-3 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds and one steal against the Wizards on Saturday.
Analysis: Diabaté again started ahead of Ryan Kalkbrenner against the Wizards on Saturday. The 24-year-old center also played the majority of the center minutes with 32 minutes played to Kalkbrenner's 16 and it's no mystery as to why given their respective production Saturday. The pair of centers continue to handle the center minutes, though it's anyone's guess who will lead the team in minutes on a given night. Kalkbrenner's fantasy value would have better standing if Diabaté's role was diminished in any way. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller has 21/10/7 line in win vs. Wizards
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:23 AM
Brandon Miller had 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's victory over the Wizards.
Analysis: Miller was just three assists shy of recording a triple-double against the Wizards on Saturday. The 23-year-old small forward is averaging 23.7 points per game, 4.7 rebounds per game, 4.0 assists per game and 3.2 three-pointers per game over his last six games. Miller has returned fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets will play four games next week, starting with a matchup against the 76ers on Monday. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball has double-double in win over Wizards
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:21 AM
LaMelo Ball had 20 points (8-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and three three-pointers in the Hornets' 119-115 victory over the Wizards on Saturday.
Analysis: Ball played 32 minutes for the first time in 12 days, a span of five games. The 24-year-old had 20 points on 19 field goal attempts, but his real value came from setting up teammates. Ball had 11 assists and the Hornets won their third consecutive game when he has double-digit assists. He's provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. |
