Miles Bridges Miles Bridges posts 16/7/2/2/1 line in return
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 5:23 PM
Miles Bridges returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 16 points (6-of-11 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: Bridges was back in the lineup after serving a four-game suspension, though he only played 22 minutes in his return due to the lopsided score. He was able to put together a solid stat line, and if the game was closer, he may have been able to have a more productive outing. They'll head to Indiana to play on Thursday, and Bridges should be able to contribute more in his typical role. |

Moussa Diabate Diabaté tallies 9/7/5/3/3 line vs. Chicago
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 5:17 PM
Moussa Diabaté returned to the lineup on Tuesday and contributed nine points (4-of-4 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in a 131-99 win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Diabaté suited up for the first time since Feb. 9, which was when he got into an altercation with the Pistons that led to his four-game suspension. He immediately made his presence felt in his first game back. He produced a well-rounded stat line, especially on the defensive end. Diabaté should be an excellent option for the remainder of the season as the Hornets' starting center. |

Coby White Coby White logs 16 minutes in Hornets debut
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 5:12 PM
Coby White made his Hornets debut on Tuesday and finished with 10 points (4-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers against the Bulls.
Analysis: White's first game with the Hornets was also his return to Chicago. His first NBA game as a member of a team other than the Bulls was where he spent the first 6.5 seasons of his career. He was productive in his 16 minutes on the floor in the blowout win, but he'll need to play a larger role to hold standard league value. However, he is returning from a calf injury, so he should take on more minutes as he logs more games. |

Moussa Diabate CHA starts Ball, Kon, Miller, Bridges, Diabaté
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 1:41 PM
NBA Lineups
LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté will start Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Bridges and Diabaté are back after serving four-game suspensions for their roles in a fight with the Pistons on February 9. Their returns push Grant Williams and Ryan Kalkbrenner to the bench. While both will remain in the rotation, Williams and Kalkbrenner take hits to their respective fantasy values. |

Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 8:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is available to make his Hornets debut on Tuesday against the Bulls.
Analysis: It's unclear if White will face a minutes restriction after such a lengthy layoff, but his return will likely mean fewer minutes for Tre Mann and Sion James. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) probable Tuesday vs. Bulls
Mon, Feb 23, 2026, 12:03 PM
Coby White (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: White hasn't appeared yet in a game for Charlotte since coming over before the trade deadline. The 26-year-old point guard is now likely to make his Hornets debut in Tuesday's game against his former team the Bulls given his probable listing with a left calf strain. Tre Mann and Sion James are candidates to lose minutes with White returning. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball erupts for 37 points, 10 threes in win
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 2:29 PM
LaMelo Ball had 37 points (12-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal and 10 three-pointers in the Hornets' 129-112 victory over the Wizards on Sunday.
Analysis: LaMelo's 10 three-pointers tied the Hornets franchise record. The 24-year-old point guard played only 27 minutes, but caught fire from beyond the arc. Ball also had seven assists and zero turnovers, only adding to his masterful performance. The Hornets have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Bulls on Tuesday. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) to remain out vs. Washington
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: White's continued absence protects the minutes of Tre Mann and Sion James, neither of whom is worth the risk in most redraft leagues. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (rest) removed from injury report
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (rest) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Williams did not play in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, as it was Charlotte's second game in as many nights. With Miles Bridges serving the final game of his four-game suspension, Williams will likely move into the starting lineup. If so, that would bump Sion James to the bench. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball scores 18 but struggles with shot
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 4:09 PM
LaMelo Ball tallied 18 points (4-of-17 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: In the past, a poor shooting night would lead to Ball having a terribly inefficient night overall. He's grown this season, and the Hornets point guard committed two turnovers in Friday's defeat. That was one of the reasons why Charlotte was able to hang with the Cavaliers despite LaMelo struggling with his shot. Fantasy managers may not take much solace in that, but it's a clear sign of growth for the point guard. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (rest) out Friday vs. Cavaliers
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 8:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (rest) is out for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Williams had a strong outing on Thursday as a starter, but he'll get the night off for rest on the second leg of Charlotte's back-to-back set. Miles Bridges is still suspended, which should mean increased playing time for Tidjane Salaün. Salaün logged 20 minutes in Thursday's loss to Houston. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) out again vs. Cavaliers
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 8:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is out for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: White hasn't appeared in a game for Charlotte since being traded in early February, and fantasy managers will have to wait at least one more game for that debut. Tre Mann and Sion James will continue to handle backcourt responsibilities off the bench until White is back in action. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams has 20 points, nine boards in loss
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:41 PM
Grant Williams had 20 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Williams got another start with Miles Bridges still suspended and came through for fantasy managers that needed him as a streamer in deeper formats. The 27-year-old had 20 points, nine boards and made four three-pointers. Williams will be usable in deeper formats for another couple of games before Bridges is back, though this level of production can't be expected on a nightly basis. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller has 17 points in loss to Rockets
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:35 PM
Brandon Miller had 17 points (5-of-22 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: To say that Miller struggled with his shooting on Thursday would be putting it mildly. The 23-year-old small forward was hardly efficient with 17 points on 22 field goal attempts, which included a 1-of-12 performance from behind the three-point line. Miller should continue to get more shots with Miles Bridges still suspended, but he'll need to do better than volume scoring to his reach his ceiling. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) to remain out vs. Houston
Wed, Feb 18, 2026, 12:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: White has yet to make his Hornets' debut, and that won't change on Thursday. The Hornets will continue to rely on Sion James and Tre Mann to provide perimeter depth off the bench. Neither qualifies as a must-roster player in fantasy leagues. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller scores game-high 31 points in win
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:20 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 31 points (10-of-26 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, five three-pointers and five turnovers in a 110-107 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Miller didn't have his most efficient performance, but it was enough to get the win. It was also his highest-scoring game since December and just his fourth 30-point game of the season. With Miles Bridges set to be suspended for three more games, Miller should continue to take on a few extra shots per game, which could lead to more big performances after the All-Star break. |

PJ Hall PJ Hall posts double-double off bench
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:06 PM
PJ Hall recorded a double-double on Wednesday with 11 points (3-of-7 FGs), 10 rebounds and one steal against the Hawks.
Analysis: The second-year center out of Clemson has been out of the rotation for the past month, but with Moussa Diabaté suspended, he was able to play 17 minutes off the bench. He took advantage of the opportunity and recorded the first double-double of his career. With Diabaté set to be sidelined for three more games, Hall should continue to get the chance to be part of the rotation. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 12:38 PM
Charlotte Hornets
LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Grant Williams and Ryan Kalkbrenner will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté began four-game suspensions for their roles in Monday's fight between the Hornets and Pistons, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Williams and Kalkbrenner will fill the voids, with both being worthwhile deep-league streamers. |
