Charlotte Hornets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Forward Taj Gibson is expected to sign a contract on Saturday to remain in Detroit for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. He was brought in on a 10-day contract after playing with the Knicks on the same agreement earlier in the season. However, the 38-year-old wasn't productive in New York, averaging 1.0 points and 1.8 rebounds. It hasn't been any better in Detroit, with Gibson failing to see the floor in his five games. With this in mind, the veteran hasn't offered anything to fantasy managers, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green (ankle) won't return to Thursday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He logged only four minutes before spraining his ankle, so he'll finish the evening with two points. The 23-year-old has a consistent role in Jason Kidd's rotation and has averaged 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) sidelined for this one, Green was in line to at least get a few more minutes while potentially seeing a slight bump in fantasy production. However, he may miss time moving ahead, beginning on Sunday versus the visiting Denver Nuggets. If Green can't suit up, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Derrick Jones Jr. would presumably split his workload, although that won't mean much for their fantasy potential.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a sixth straight game on Thursday versus Boston. The versatile wingman continues to nurse a lower abdominal strain. Phoenix likely gets Nassir Little (knee) back on Thursday, but with Eric Gordon (knee) questionable for the game, the bench could still be short of quality. Boston gives up the eighth-most shot attempts to opposing benches, so this is a promising matchup for Phoenix's second unit.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (groin) is back in action ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young guard will make his return to the court following a three-game absence due to a groin injury. Before going down, Mann was playing over 30 minutes per game on most nights. He hasn't been a great fantasy asset, but he does enough to warrant rostering in certain fantasy formats. Fantasy managers who have Mann rostered can get him back in their lineups on Wednesday.

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (groin) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis. He could be out for a fourth consecutive contest due to a right groin strain. Mann had gained a lot of momentum over several weeks before suffering the injury. The 23-year-old has posted 11.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.6 steals since arriving in Charlotte. His absence has given a big boost to Vasilije Micic, while Grant Williams has also received a larger role, starting all three games Mann has missed. However, Wednesday's matchup isn't a good one for the Hornets players, as the Grizzlies, despite all of their flaws, are ranked just outside the top 10 in defensive efficiency.
