LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball has 36 points in loss to Celtics
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 4:48 PM
LaMelo Ball had 36 points (12-of-24 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Ball followed up his 35-point performance in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves with 36 points against the Celtics, though the Hornets weren't fortunate enough to win this time. The 24-year-old point guard has been as advertised this year. There were great highs and lows, but in the end Ball stayed healthy and provided fourth-round per game value over the course of the season. That's a win for his fantasy managers this year. |

Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 1:05 PM
Coby White (groin) is out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: White was downgraded to questionable Tuesday afternoon and subsequently ruled out with left groin soreness. The 26-year-old has excelled in a bench role since coming over from the Bulls before the trade deadline. Tre Mann could see a slight boost in minutes and production with White sidelined. |

Coby White Coby White (groin) downgraded to questionable
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 10:01 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (groin) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Boston.
Analysis: The downgrade in status so close to tip-off is never good news for a player's availability. If White is sidelined, the Hornets will need to pick up the slack through a committee approach, but there are no actionable fantasy moves. |

Coby White Coby White (groin) probable vs. Boston
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 12:24 PM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (groin) is probable to play against the Celtics on Tuesday.
Analysis: White is managing some soreness in his groin, but he is expected to suit up against Boston. He'll continue to be a fantastic option off the bench for Charlotte, though his fantasy impact has been limited by a lack of minutes, partially due to so many blowouts. |

Coby White Coby White has 17 points, three threes in win
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 4:01 PM
Coby White had 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), one assist and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Since coming over from the Bulls in a trade before this year's deadline, White has routinely played 25 minutes or less per game. The 26-year-old point guard has displayed remarkable offensive efficiency with the Hornets as he's consistently put up points without playing a ton of minutes. Sunday was his ninth game with at least 16 points in his last 12 games, and he did it despite just 20 minutes. White is most useful in points and category leagues because of his lack of production in the other categories. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges has 25/8/7 line in win over T-Wolves
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 3:55 PM
Miles Bridges had 25 points (10-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Bridges has now scored 25 points in two of his last three games and at least 19 points in four consecutive games. The 28-year-old small forward stepped up for the Hornets on a night when Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller combined for just 18 points. Bridges has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets have three games in the last week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball has 35 points, seven threes in win
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 3:44 PM
LaMelo Ball had 35 points (13-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and seven three-pointers in the Hornets' 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday.
Analysis: Ball had two 30-point games in the entire month of March and wasted no time by dropping 35 points in his third game in April. The 24-year-old point guard caught fire from downtown as he made 7-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Ball has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday. |

Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 12:40 PM
NBA Lineups
LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After missing Friday's win over the Pacers, Diabaté is back and will assume his usual duties as the Hornets' starting center. Ryan Kalkbrenner will head to the bench, which limits his fantasy value. |

Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 11:33 AM
Moussa Diabaté (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Diabaté missed Friday's win over the Pacers, but was listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, so his availability isn't a surprise. Ryan Kalkbrenner will head back to the bench as Diabaté returns to the starting lineup. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges finished blowout win with 19 points
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:27 PM
Miles Bridges tallied 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: One night removed from scoring 25 points in a win over the Suns, Bridges put up 19 more on Friday. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and this was another good performance for the Hornets' forward. Bridges will look to end Week 23 on a high note when Charlotte visits Minnesota on Sunday. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller scores team-high 22 points vs. IND
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:26 PM
Brandon Miller recorded 22 points (9-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Miller did a good job scoring-wise on Friday, but the defensive contributions, as limited as they were, are a notable story from Friday's win. Before Friday, he had last recorded at least one steal and one block in the same game on March 6. That isn't a strong suit of Miller's in terms of fantasy value, so Friday's line was a welcome bonus for those rostering him. The Hornets play once more in Week 23, at Minnesota on Sunday. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté (ankle) downgraded to out vs. IND
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 12:23 PM
Charlotte Hornets
Moussa Diabaté (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Diabaté will miss Friday's game with a sore left ankle, likely meaning that Ryan Kalkbrenner will start. Taking on that role would raise the rookie's fantasy ceiling, especially in what appears to be a favorable matchup for the Hornets. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) out Friday vs. Pacers
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 8:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (knee) is out for Friday's matchup with Indiana.
Analysis: Williams will sit out against the Pacers due to right knee injury management. Sion James and Josh Green could pick up a few extra minutes, but neither of them are worth streaming. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté (ankle) questionable Friday vs. IND
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 8:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Moussa Diabaté (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pacers.
Analysis: Diabaté is dealing with left ankle soreness, and it could cost him a game against Indiana. If the big man is ultimately sidelined, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely replace him in the starting five. If Kalkbrenner starts, he'll be worth streaming in a favorable matchup with the Pacers. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball records 11 assists, zero turnovers
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 3:24 PM
LaMelo Ball accounted for 15 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Ball's point total may not have been as high as many fantasy managers have grown accustomed to, but he had one of his best floor games of the season on Thursday. In addition to racking up 11 assists, the Hornets point guard did not commit a turnover. This was Ball's first game of the season in which he reached double figures in assists without committing a turnover. His efficiency has improved since the All-Star break, a big reason the Hornets have locked up a spot in the Play-In tournament and can still finish in the top-6 of the East. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges scores team-high 25 points vs. PHX
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 3:23 PM
Miles Bridges tallied 25 points (10-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: After scoring an efficient 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Nets, Bridges was even better against the Suns. Recording his first 20-point game since March 14, the 25 were the most in a game for the Hornets' forward since a March 11 win over the Kings (26 points). Add in the three-pointers, and Thursday was a good night for those rostering Bridges. |

Coby White Coby White contributes 19 points vs. Phoenix
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 3:23 PM
Coby White recorded 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: The Hornets received 46 points from their bench on Thursday, with White's 19 leading the way. The reserve guard has averaged 18.7 points per game over his last ten appearances, shooting 49.2 percent from the field. Since he brings little to the table in the defensive categories, White holds superior value in points leagues and in category leagues where managers are targeting points and three-pointers. |

PJ Hall PJ Hall (ankle) ruled out vs. Phoenix
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
PJ Hall (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Hall's absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not in the Hornets' rotation on most nights. |

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. |
