Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (hip) has been listed as probable on the injury report for their Tuesday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry was unable to play in their last game on Sunday due to a sore right hip, but it looks like he's healing from that ailment at a faster pace. The 33-year-old sharpshooter has averaged 9.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.0 made threes across 19.9 minutes per game. He hasn't been the most fantasy-relevant player lately, but he's getting more consistent minutes with the Hornets than he was with the Dallas Mavericks. So he could be a somewhat viable option in very deep fantasy leagues.
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (elbow) is expected to play on Tuesday versus Cleveland, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Green hurt his right elbow on Sunday versus Indiana and has landed on the injury report with an elbow strain, but it looks like he will be good to go. The 23-year-old is the glue guy in Dallas' starting unit who does a little bit of everything and has averaged 13.0 points for the month with 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals.
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will miss his 13th consecutive game on Friday as the team has ruled him out again due to tendinopathy in his right ankle. The up-and-coming point guard hasn't been able to shed the ankle issues this season and consistently remain on the court. He's only appeared in 22 games so far and the Hornets look like they'll be headed to the draft lottery yet again. Ball's injury concerns will be a major issue in their rebuild process and fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on any updates throughout the season. For now, newly acquired Tre Mann should continue to play with the starting five alongside Brandon Miller and Cody Martin.
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Thursday against Utah. Ball has missed more than a few games this season. However, his latest ailment, right ankle Tendinopathy, has kept him off the floor for Charlotte's last 11 games. At this point, nobody can say for certain when Ball will be back in the lineup. But until that happens, Tre Mann, averaging 13.7 points, 7.3 assists, and 7.0 rebounds in three starts with the Hornets, is undoubtedly worth adding to any fantasy lineup.
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta. He missed a pair of games at the start of the month but has since then featured in four consecutive contests, playing very healthy minutes. So, Martin has been looking good health-wise lately and is expected to play versus the Hawks. The 28-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 27.5 minutes across the past four games. It's a fantasy dream matchup for Martin and the Hornets on Wednesday, as two of the worst defensive teams in the league go head to head, with Atlanta also holding a top-three spot in pace.
