Charlotte Hornets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bridges has been dealing with a nagging right knee issue and he appears to be in too much to pain to play on Thursday. His absence should result in more playing time for Tidjane Salaun and Cody Martin in the rotation. Between the two, Martin is the better streaming option for Thursday's slate. Martin has recorded four steals and four blocks over the last two games, so his defensive ability makes him a more appealing option for this contest.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is probable heading into Thursday night's game against the Detroit Pistons. Mann had been listed as questionable for Monday's game against Brooklyn but was able to suit up. Given that he's listed probable already it's a positive sign that his back issues are subsiding after missing two games over the past week. Fantasy managers and DFS managers alike should get Mann into their lineups with the 23-year-old averaging 14.8 PPG.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn. He's returning to the lineup after sitting out one game. Mann has enjoyed a good start to the campaign, averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 24.7 minutes off the bench. However, he might have a difficult time on Tuesday, as only nine teams allow fewer bench points than the Nets. Mann's return will likely push Vasilije Micic out of the rotation.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old missed Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as he continues to deal with a lower-back injury. On the season, Mann has been a reliable presence for the Hornets, averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. If he is unable to play, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry could see expanded opportunities to contribute off the bench for Charlotte.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (finger) is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old had 26 points, nine boards, and six assists in Saturday's one-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately, he was added to the injury report because of a left index finger sprain. With Miles Bridges (knee) and Tre Mann (back) also questionable, the Hornets may need to rely more on Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, and Grant Williams for offensive production.
