Rotoworld Player News

Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Naz Reid recorded 14 points (4-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and one block in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

Reid has been in a bit of a funk since Charlotte’s October 24 win over the Heat. Over his last four games, the Hornets’ forward has shot 35.1 percent from the field and 21.7 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 12.8 points per game. That’s not the production fantasy managers were hoping for, especially as the Hornets continue to play without Coby White and Kon Knueppel. Hopefully, Reid can turn things around next week, with the Hornets hosting the Pistons on Monday.
Grayson Allen

CHA Guard #8

Grayson Allen accounted for 27 points (9-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and seven three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

After scoring 14 points on 4-of-18 shooting in Charlotte’s prior two games, Allen needed a night like Saturday. He shot a stellar 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, including 3-of-3 in an 11-point first quarter. The 27 points are a new season-high for Allen, who scored 20 or more in two of Charlotte’s first three games. He’ll have a higher fantasy ceiling until Coby White and Kon Knueppel are cleared to return from their injuries.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller finished Saturday’s loss to the 76ers with 24 points (8-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers.

Miller shot the ball better than he did in Friday’s loss to the Wizards, when he finished 7-of-24 from the field. This season, he’s shooting 37.7 percent from the field, nearly six percentage points lower than last season (43.5). Hopefully, the eventual returns of Coby White and Kon Knueppel will make things a bit easier for Miller by improving the quality of shots he gets in Charlotte’s offense. The Hornets play three games next week, starting with the Pistons on Monday.
Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Naz Reid scored 12 points (5-of-17 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, an assist, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

Naz Reid got the start after being benched in the second half of last game, but it looks to be a one game thing. While he didn’t fill up the box score, he still filled up the box score despite it, but it wasn’t a good performance from the Hornets as a whole. If you have Naz, be patient and don’t overreact. He won’t likely go shoot 29.4% from the field and 25% from three very often.
Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14

Moussa Diabaté scored 10 points (5-of-11 FGs), 12 rebounds, an assist, and two steals on Friday in loss.

Diabaté has been as expected this season. He has value in redraft leagues if you need some rebounding, but he hasn’t done much else besides that. From a dynasty perspective, Moussa could be someone that gets moved to a new team given the surplus of centers the Hornets have, and he should have some value given his current contract.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller scored 19 points (7-of-24 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal, a block, and three 3-pointers in 95-79 loss to Wizards.

After having three straight good games in a row against the Heat, Wizards, and Pistons, he had another bad game. The Wizards did much better on containing Miller and Naz Reid in this game which allowed them to come away with a win against them. Don’t panic after he gave you several good games and he’ll have an opportunity to have a bounce back game tomorrow against the 76ers. The Hornets will not likely shoot 29.7% from the field tomorrow either.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Hornets head coach Charles Lee said Friday that Kon Knueppel (hamstring) responded well after a recent practice with the Hornets’ G League affiliate.

Kneuppel, who suffered a hamstring strain before the preseason, is progressing toward making his 2026-27 debut. According to Lee, the second-year guard’s hamstring responded well after a recent G League practice. Next, Knueppel needs to acclimate to his teammates after the Hornets return from their road trip, which ends on Friday. Knueppel doesn’t have an exact return timeline, but managers stashing him in an IL spot should begin planning for that day.
Dennis Schröder

CHA Guard #17

Dennis Schröder (foot) is available for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Schröder is officially available. He’ll continue as the Hornets’ starting point guard, with Sion James and Christian Anderson Jr. also having opportunities to initiate offense.
Dennis Schröder

CHA Guard #17

Dennis Schröder (foot) is upgraded to probable for Friday’s game against the Wizards.

Initially listed as questionable, Schröder is on track to play Friday night. If cleared, he’ll continue as Charlotte’s starting point guard while they wait for Coby White to return from a calf injury.
Dennis Schröder

CHA Guard #17

Dennis Schröder (foot) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Friday.

Schröder has been the starter with Coby White (calf) sidelined to start the year. If Schröder is unavailable, Sion James will likely take over point guard duties, with Grayson Allen entering the starting unit. Rookie Christian Anderson Jr. would also likely take on extra minutes off the bench, and there is a slight chance he starts.
