  • Hornets' Miles Bridges: Resting Tuesday

    Bridges (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

    Bridges will miss his first game since Jan. 24, this time due to rest purposes. He should be available to return Thursday against the Knicks. Bridges' absence opens the door for Wendell Moore or Marcus Garrett (back) to enter the Hornets' starting lineup for Tuesday's game.

  • Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Expected to face Atlanta on Tuesday

    Ball (wrist) is probable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Ball has dealt with several injuries throughout the 2024-25 campaign, which has led to the Hornets managing his playing time. However, the star point guard is expected to suit up for his fifth consecutive contest Tuesday, despite dealing with right wrist soreness. Over his last four outings, Ball has averaged 20.8 points, 9.8 assists, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 31.5 minutes per contest.

  • Hornets' Marcus Garrett: Likely to play against Hawks

    Garrett (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

    A case of back soreness is unlikely to stop Garrett from suiting up Tuesday. Over three appearances in 2024-25, Garrett has averaged 5.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes while shooting 40.0 percent from downtown.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Excellent stretch continues Sunday

    Williams supplied 18 points (9-15 FG), 15 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Clippers.

    It was the 16th double-double of the year for Williams, who led the Hornets in scoring and rebounding Sunday. The 2022 first-rounder tends to sit out one leg of back-to-back sets, but he's been exceptional when available in March. Over his last seven contests, Williams has averaged 16.9 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.2 minutes while shooting 69.4 percent from the field.

  • Hornets' Miles Bridges: Rare dud in blowout loss

    Bridges amassed seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Clippers.

    Bridges' seven points were one shy of his season low set way back during the Nov. 2 loss to Boston, but he's been very productive in the month of March for the most part. Across his last nine outings, Bridges has averaged 26.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes. The star forward should continue handling a featured role when available for the rebuilding Hornets down the stretch of the season.

  • Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Poor shooting night in rout

    Jeffries supplied five points (2-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Clippers.

    Although Jeffries logged a team-high 36 minutes in Sunday's rout, he failed to make a big impact in the box score. Jeffries has carved out a stable role in Charlotte's rotation of late, although it hasn't translated to much fantasy value. Over his past seven games, Jeffries has averaged 8.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes.

  • Hornets' Nick Smith: Torches Spurs for 26 points

    Smith contributed 26 points (9-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 145-134 win over the Spurs.

    Smith's efficient 26 points established a new season high Friday, and he sunk six three-pointers off the bench. The 2023 first-rounder has taken on more usage in the absence of Brandon Miller (wrist), but Smith's shooting efficiency remains poor overall. Across his last 14 outings, Smith has averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes while shooting 37.7 percent from the field.

  • Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high 20 points in win

    Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.

    It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.

  • Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Hands out season-high 15 assists

    Ball posted 27 points (9-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over the Spurs.

    Ball handed out a season-high 15 assists Friday, tallying his 11th double-double of the year. The star floor general should remain a high-end fantasy producer in all formats when available, although the rebuilding Hornets figure to monitor his workload in the final month of the season. Over his last 10 games, Ball has averaged 19.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 30.5 minutes.

  • Hornets' Josh Green: Muted performance in loss

    Green closed Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.

    Despite a healthy workload, Green wasn't able to make much of an impact on the stat sheet. He's been way too cold from the field to trust in most fantasy formats. Over his last 10 outings, Green has hit 26.9 percent from the field with averages of 4.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

  • Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Notches career-high 20 points

    Jeffries provided 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks.

    Jeffries recorded a career-high 20 points in the loss, eclipsing 30 minutes for the second game in a row. Fantasy managers may need to see more performances like this before jumping onboard, as this was certainly an outlier. Over his last seven games, Jeffries holds averages of 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes.

  • Hornets' Miles Bridges: Posts massive line

    Bridges finished Wednesday's 123-110 loss to Atlanta with 31 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 37 minutes.

    Bridges recorded his 11th double-double of the season and matched his career-high mark of four blocks, something he's achieved three separate times. Bridges has been Charlotte's most consistent fantasy contributor, and he's on pace to return fourth-round value in nine-category formats with 21.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers.

  • Hornets' Jusuf Nurkic: Green light to play Wednesday

    Nurkic (shin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    Nurkic was listed on Tuesday's injury report as questionable due to a left shin contusion, but the issue isn't severe enough for him to miss Wednesday's game. The veteran center has averaged 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over 17.9 minutes per game in his nine outings (including four starts) with the Hornets this season.

  • Hornets' Marcus Garrett: Gets 10-day deal

    Garrett signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets on Wednesday.

    Garrett will be available for Wednesday's game in Atlanta and will join the 15-man roster as a replacement for Malachi Flynn, who wasn't re-signed after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday. After being cut by the Hornets in training camp, Garrett has appeared in 40 games for Charlotte's G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm. Over his 40 appearances for the Swarm, Garrett averaged 10.4 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest. He could get the chance to play backup minutes on the wing for Charlotte while he's under contracdt.
