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. |

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. |
