Tre Mann Tre Mann (ankle) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 11:27 AM
Charlotte Hornets PR
Tre Mann (ankle) is questionable to play against the Nets on Monday.
Analysis: Mann has played in Charlotte's last four games following a two-game absence with an injury to the same ankle. Collin Sexton and Sion James would likely take on a few extra minutes if Mann is unavailable. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton contributes 18 points, five assists
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:59 PM
Collin Sexton finished Saturday's win over the Raptors with 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, five assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: With LaMelo Ball (14/2/5 with one three-pointer) struggling with foul trouble and under a minutes restriction, Sexton gave the Hornets valuable minutes off the bench. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line and helped lead the way as Charlotte outscored Toronto by a 24-17 margin in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Sexton hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option, but Ball's injury history makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller (shoulder) struggles in OT victory
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:59 PM
Brandon Miller (shoulder) recorded seven points (1-of-13 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: After a stellar performance in Friday's win over the Bulls, Miller played the second game of Charlotte's home back-to-back. While the poor shooting was problematic, more concerning for fantasy managers was Miller exiting during the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his left shoulder injury. While he did return later in the quarter, the Hornets forward did not seem to be all that comfortable. The Hornets begin a four-game Week 7 in Brooklyn on Monday, but they won't have any back-to-backs. Hopefully, Miller will be available for all four contests. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges bounces back, scores 35 points
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:57 PM
Miles Bridges tallied 35 points (13-of-23 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Bridges wasn't too thrilled with the performances of either himself or his teammates in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. He's backed up the words that followed that blowout loss with actions, totaling 57 points in wins over the Bulls and Raptors. Saturday's 35 points were a season high for the athletic forward, who has four 30-point games to his name in 2025-26. Bridges and the Hornets play four games in Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday. |

Tre Mann Tre Mann (ankle) cleared to play vs. Toronto
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 11:01 AM
Charlotte Hornets PR
Tre Mann (ankle) is available to play against the Raptors on Saturday.
Analysis: Mann was listed as probable on the second night of the back-to-back, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. He'll occupy his typical role off the bench, which hasn't been enough time for him to make an impact on the box score with LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton available. |

Tre Mann Tre Mann (ankle) probable Saturday vs. Raptors
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:07 AM
Tre Mann (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Mann popped up on the injury report Saturday afternoon as probable with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard missed multiple games last week due to the injury, but has played in the last three Hornets games. Mann figures to suit up again Saturday given his probable listing, but he still doesn't offer much fantasy value in a bench role. |

Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton (calf) out Saturday vs. Raptors
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 7:03 AM
Pat Connaughton (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Connaughton hurt his calf last week against the Clippers and hasn't played since. The 32-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his fourth consecutive game against the Raptors on Saturday. As a reserve, his absence doesn't significantly impact fantasy basketball. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges turns in 22/8/7 line vs. Chicago
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:27 PM
Miles Bridges stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points (8-of-17 FGs), eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one three-pointer on Friday against the Bulls.
Analysis: Bridges had one of his better statistical performances of the season in this one. He matched his season high for assists and approached triple-double territory. Bridges is currently averaging career highs in both points and three-pointers, and the volume of triples has helped to offset the worst field goal percentage of his career. That wasn't an issue in this game, which resulted in one of his best games of the year. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton tallies 21/4/3/1/2 line off bench
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:22 PM
Collin Sexton provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (8-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer on Friday against the Bulls.
Analysis: Sexton has been at his best this season as part of the starting lineup, but he was able to reach 20 points as a reserve for the first time this season in this one. He has been an excellent addition for Charlotte and has been a consistent source of offense when given the opportunity. Still, Sexton's best games will continue to come when he is able to start, so don't expect nights like this often. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller drops season-best 27 points
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:19 PM
Brandon Miller led the Hornets with 27 points (10-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and five three-pointers in a 123-116 win over the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: This was only Miller's fifth appearance this season, but he has been fantastic when he has suited up this year. This game featured new season-highs for minutes, points, blocks and three-pointers and resulted in Charlotte's fifth win of the season. Miller's injuries over the last two seasons have been frustrating, but if he can stay on the floor moving forward, he will be worth the wait. |

Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton (calf) out Friday vs. Chicago
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pat Connaughton (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Connaughton injured his calf during the Hornets' November 22 loss to the Clippers and has not played since, missing the last two games. Friday's game will be the third on the shelf for Connaughton, but it will not affect fantasy basketball. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges scores 17 points vs. New York
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:36 PM
Miles Bridges accumulated 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Bridges had a rough night at the foul line, and he did not record any defensive stats, either. Despite limited defensive production, the veteran forward is still providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. As long as Bridges avoids a late-season shutdown, he should remain a reliable option for managers needing scoring at the forward positions. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller leads Hornets with 18 points
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:36 PM
Brandon Miller tallied 18 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Miller led the way for the Hornets, shooting 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. The nature of Wednesday's game, which the Knicks won 129-101, meant he got some extra time on the bench, with the Hornets already eliminated from the NBA Cup. However, his 28 minutes were two more than his total in Saturday's loss to the Clippers. Miller can be a valuable fantasy option when playing without restrictions, so fantasy managers must be patient as he works to improve his conditioning. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball (ankle) available Wednesday vs. NYK
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 11:18 AM
Rod Boone
LaMelo Ball (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Ball is back after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Hawks, Charlotte's second game in as many nights. Collin Sexton will head to the bench, where the already-low fantasy value decreases a bit more. |

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller (shoulder) off injury report
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 11:15 AM
Rod Boone
Brandon Miller (shoulder) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Miller did not play in Sunday's loss to the Hawks, as Charlotte was playing its second game in as many nights. His return means Sion James will head back to the bench, with the rookie already providing minimal fantasy value. |

Collin Sexton Collin Sexton drops 22 points in spot start
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 2:36 PM
Collin Sexton finished Sunday's loss to the Hawks with 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) unavailable, Sexton was one of the replacements in the Hornets' starting lineup. The final stat line was solid, but the veteran guard did not offer much value beyond the points and assists. By now, experienced fantasy managers have a clear understanding of what they're getting when they roster Sexton. The Hornets' three-game Week 6 includes a back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Sexton to start in the near future. Sion James started in place of Miller, and the rookie finished with seven points, six rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer. |

Miles Bridges Miles Bridges posts 21/5/5/1/1 line vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 2:36 PM
Miles Bridges tallied 21 points (8-of-20 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: While Bridges did record a complete stat line in Atlanta, it had the potential to be even better. The Hornets forward shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Since going on a run of six straight games with at least two three-pointers, Bridges went 1-of-10 in losses to the Clippers and Hawks. However, he's still averaging a career-high 2.9 three-pointers per game, which is one reason Bridges has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats. The Hornets play three games during Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday. |

Mason Plumlee CHA starts Sexton, James, Knueppel, Bridges, Mason
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 11:39 AM
NBA Lineups
Collin Sexton, Sion James, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Mason Plumlee will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: The Hornets are down three starters for Sunday's game, as LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Ryan Kalkbrenner have been ruled out. Sexton, James and Plumlee move into the starting lineup, with the latter making his first start of the season. That's surprising, but Moussa Diabaté may still play more minutes despite coming off the bench. |
|
Tre Mann Tre Mann (ankle) available Sunday vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tre Mann (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Mann has been upgraded from probable to available, which will help the Hornets account for the absences of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Mann offers limited fantasy value, so the expanded role does not make him a must-stream in this spot. |
|
Pat Connaughton Pat Connaughton (calf) out Sunday vs. Atlanta
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 7:54 AM
Charlotte Hornets
Pat Connaughton (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Connaughton was injured during Saturday's loss to the Clippers. With the Hawks announcing that he suffered a calf strain, the veteran guard may be looking at an extended absence. Connaughton's absence does not affect fantasy basketball. |
