Charlotte Hornets DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard DaQuan Jeffries (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jeffries is in danger of missing his fifth game in a row due to knee soreness. Normally, his status doesn't mean too much, but Jeffries was actually playing minutes in the 20s throughout most of February. Damion Baugh figures to continue playing increased minutes until Jeffries is back on the court. Baugh is offering some low-end streaming value, but he's still not worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry has been dealing with back tightness, but he was able to play 16 minutes during Tuesday's game. The fact he was able to play on Tuesday means he should be good to go here, barring any setbacks. He finished with 14 points on Tuesday, but he didn't do much outside of that. Curry is a decent scoring option, but isn't going to offer much fantasy value outside of that.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ball is back in action after sitting out their last game due to an ankle injury. Honestly, Ball likely sat out for rest purposes considering it was the second leg of a back-to-back set. The expectation is that Ball will have his full workload against the Mavs. Elfrid Payton will shift back to the bench and lose most of his streaming value.

Charlotte Hornets guardDaQuan Jeffries(knee) won't suit up against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Jefferies will be out of action for the fourth straight contest due to a left knee injury. He has only been averaging minutes in the teens this season, but Jeffries was playing more before the injury. Tidjane Salaun(ankle) will also be out against the Warriors, freeing up some extra minutes that could be given to Wendell Moore and Damion Baugh who won't likely make an impact in fantasy this evening.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (rest, ankle) will be out on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Ball will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back after playing against Sacramento on Monday, where he posted 13 points, six rebounds, nine assists, and one steal in 29 minutes during a losing effort. His next chance to return will be Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks. Elfrid Payton is expected to start in Ball's absence, but he carries minimal fantasy value, having scored just six total points across his last five outings.
