Charlotte Hornets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in three weeks. He will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Since arriving from Phoenix, Okogie has played well with his new squad, averaging 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and a whopping 2.7 steals in 21.3 minutes. Players like DaQuan Jeffries, KJ Simpson, and Nick Smith Jr. have a chance to feature more in the rotation with Okogie out. However, they are inconsistent performers, which makes them risky picks for fantasy managers.

Charlotte Hornets guardJosh Green(foot) will play on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Green didn't suit up for Wednesday' contest with the Brooklyn Nets because of right foot soreness, marking his third missed game of the 2024-25 campaign. But having him back is good news for Charlotte, especially withLaMelo Ball(ankle),Mark Williams(foot) andCody Martin(sports hernia) all out. Green should be viewed by fantasy managers as a risky, upside-streaming option.

The Charlotte Hornets announced forwardCody Martin (abdomen) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Martin will miss his fourth contest in a row due to a sports hernia injury. Josh Green(foot) is listed as probable for this evening, so if he can suit up, he will take a large amount of Martins minutes on the floor. Josh Okogie andDaQuan Jeffries could also see expanded roles versus the Clippers.

Charlotte Hornets guard Josh Green (foot) is expected to play on Friday night against the Clippers. Green wasn't available for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets because of right foot soreness, marking his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But it's good news for Charlotte, especially with LaMelo Ball (ankle), Mark Williams (foot), and Cody Martin (sports hernia) ruled out. While Miles Bridges should remain Charlotte's top offensive contributor against Los Angeles, Green should be viewed by fantasy managers as a risky, high-upside streaming option.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Friday against the Clippers. The 23-year-old wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets for injury management purposes. But he'll now miss his second-straight contest, so fantasy managers hope he'll be back on the floor on Saturday versus Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Taj Gibson will likely get the start on Friday. However, Moussa Diabate, who had 13 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal versus the Nets, should be the preferred fantasy option.
