Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) off injury report vs. Miami
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 11:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (knee) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Williams sat out on Wednesday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He'll return to play Miami, which means Ryan Kalkbrenner and Pat Connaughton will lose minutes off the bench. |

Coby White Coby White chips in with 17 points, six assists
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:55 PM
Coby White amassed 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: With the trade to Charlotte and his return from a calf injury, White's role with his new team has lowered his fantasy ceiling. However, the Hornets guard had a good night in Boston, recording excellent percentages and dishing out a team-high six assists (tied with Moussa Diabaté). Just as concerning for managers who have White rostered as his role is Charlotte's upcoming schedule, as they'll have another back-to-back to navigate during Week 20. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller records 18/5/2/3 line vs. Boston
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:55 PM
Brandon Miller tallied 18 points (8-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: After only needing to play 21 minutes in Tuesday's rout of the Mavericks, Miller logged 27 minutes as the Hornets torched the Celtics by a 118-89 final score. All that was missing from his final stat line was a blocked shot, but the efficient scoring and three steals should compensate for that. Miller and the Hornets have won six straight and are 21-8 since New Year's Day. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball hits four triples, scores 18 points
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:54 PM
LaMelo Ball finished Wednesday's win over the Celtics with 18 points (7-of-17 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers.
Analysis: The Hornets have now won six straight games, with four players scoring between 17 and 20 points in Wednesday's 118-89 blowout of the Celtics. Ball's field-goal percentage may not have been elite, and the assist tally was a bit low. However, Wednesday's game was his third this season without a turnover, with two being recorded after the All-Star break. Ball as an efficient playmaker makes the Hornets a dangerous team and increases his value in nine-cat formats. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) off injury report vs. Boston
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: White sat out against Dallas on Tuesday, but he'll be available to take on Boston. Sion James and Josh Green were the primary perimeter options off the bench, but White will occupy that role in this game. |

Grant Williams Grant Williams (knee) ruled out vs. Boston
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Grant Williams (knee) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams isn't playing back-to-backs after missing over a calendar year with a knee injury, so he'll sit this one out. Ryan Kalkbrenner and Pat Connaughton should take on extra minutes off the bench, though neither will play enough to contribute much fantasy production. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball pours in 15/5/9/5/1 line vs. Dallas
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 4:07 PM
LaMelo Ball stuffed the stat sheet on Tuesday and finished with 15 points (5-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, nine assists, five steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Though it was a rough shooting night for him, Ball was still able pour in the counting stats as the Hornets won their fifth straight game by at least 15 points. He also set a new season high for steals. Charlotte has been able to manage LaMelo's minutes recently due to the amount of lopsided wins, which should allow him to be at full strength in Boston on Wednesday despite it being the second night of a back-to-back. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller tallies 17/5/4/1/2 line vs. Dallas
Tue, Mar 3, 2026, 4:01 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 17 points (6-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in a 117-90 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Miller got off to a hot start, scoring 13 points in the first quarter alone. Unfortunately, foul trouble limited him to just 21 minutes, which was enough for him to lead the team in scoring, but not enough for him to truly expand on his start. This put an end to his four-game streak with at least 20 points, but it was the fifth straight win for the Hornets by at least 15 points. They'll put that streak to the test in Boston on Wednesday. |

Coby White Coby White (calf) ruled out vs. Dallas
Mon, Mar 2, 2026, 11:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Coby White (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Tuesday's game is the first of two in as many days for the Hornets, who visit the Celtics on Wednesday. His absence frees up rotation minutes for fellow reserve Tre Mann, who is not worth the streaming risk. |

Coby White Coby White has 20 points in 21 minutes Saturday
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 9:38 AM
Coby White had 20 points (5-of-13 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: White was instant offense off the bench with 20 points in 21 minutes against the Trail Blazers on Saturday. The 26-year-old point guard had a good game, but it'll be difficult for White to provide fantasy value without playing more minutes. So far his bench role has resulted in 16, 17 and 21 minutes in his first three games with the Hornets. |

Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabaté has double-double in win Saturday
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 9:34 AM
Moussa Diabaté had 13 points (5-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds and five assists in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Diabaté had no steals or blocks in this one, but was effective on the offensive end. The 24-year-old power forward had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds and also added five assists. Diabaté dominated minutes over backup Ryan Kalkbrenner 33-14, which is the key to him maintaining fantasy value. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller has 26 points, six threes in win
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 9:29 AM
Brandon Miller had 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers in the Hornets' 109-93 victory over the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Analysis: Miller's 26 points and six three-pointers were both game-highs as the Hornets cruised past the Trail Blazers 109-93 on Saturday. The 23-year-old small forward has bounced back after a few rough showings with 59 points over his last two games. The Hornets have four games upcoming next week, starting with a matchup against the Mavericks on Tuesday. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miler matches season-high 33 points
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 3:52 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 33 points (11-of-19 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and six three-pointers in a 133-109 win on Thursday against the Pacers.
Analysis: Miller only needed 26 minutes to match his season high for scoring to help the Hornets win a third straight game on the road. During this three-game road trip, he averaged 26 points and 5.3 triples per game while shooting at least 55 percent from the floor in each game. Miller has had a few rough games in February after a strong finish to January, but he has been able to get back on track recently. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball scores 20 points in 22 minutes
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 3:37 PM
LaMelo Ball finished with 20 points (7-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers against the Pacers on Thursday.
Analysis: The limiting factor for LaMelo recently has been that Charlotte keeps blowing teams out. He only played 22 minutes in this game but was efficient during his time on the floor. Ball has played 50 games this season, meaning he just needs to play in two more to surpass his total games played as a rookie and make this the second-most games he has played in during a season. With a player as talented as Ball, availability is the most important ability. |

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. |

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. |
