Charlotte Hornets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ball has missed each of Charlotte's last three games. He's been a very solid fantasy option when healthy, averaging 30.1 PPG as one of Charlotte's only dynamic options outside of Brandon Miller. If active he will be a top fantasy option against a Cleveland team that is prone to receiving damage from three-point shooters. If Ball is unable to go, expect Brandon Miller to get the lion's share of usage in Charlotte's offense. However, Miller is also questionable and if he can't go then the next best option would be Miles Bridges.

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Martin will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a left knee contusion. The expectation is that Martin is going to have his normal workload on Friday. Possibly, Martin takes on a bigger role with Brandon Miller (ankle) still sidelined. Martin hasn't been a great fantasy option this season, but is worth a look as a streaming option with Miller out.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) remains out on Friday versus Detroit. Melo has been sidelined the last two games, most recently missing Monday's overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls. There was hope that extra time in between contests would allow Ball to get right. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so his next chance to suit up will be on Sunday in Cleveland. With Brandon Miller (ankle) also out, Miles Bridges is expected to lead the way offensively. However, there's room for Mark Williams, Seth Curry, and Vasilije Micic to get more involved than usual.

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Martin is hopeful to get back on the court here after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering knee issue. The Hornets have been shorthanded with LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Brandon Miller (ankle) also sidelined for those games. That has pushed Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic into bigger roles in the rotation. Both players are worth considering as low-end streaming options if the Hornets aren't able to get healthy before Friday's contest.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Ball has missed each of the last two games due to left ankle and right wrist injuries. It sounds like Ball has a decent chance of getting back on the court on Friday. Otherwise, his next chance to play would be Sunday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Vasilije Micic has been starting in his place, but he isn't offering great fantasy value. He finished with seven points and seven rebounds in 34 minutes of action during Monday's game. Micic could be a low-end streaming option if Ball is unable to go on Friday.
