Kon Knueppel

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kon Knueppel had 28 points (10-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and six three-pointers against the Hawks on Thursday.

Knueppel continue to lead the Hornets with his consistent scoring. The 20-year-old shooting guard had at least 28 points for the third consecutive game. Knueppel was a game-high +18 in 35 minutes in the seven-point victory for the Hornets. Charlotte will close out the week with a matchup with the Pistons on Saturday.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller had 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Hawks on Thursday.

Miller was excellent in the win over the Hawks Thursday. The 23-year-old small forward had a full stat line as he recorded three steals and one block in addition to pouring in 26 points, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out seven assists. The Hornets got elite production from their big three of Miller, LaMelo Ball and Kon Knueppel. Miller in particular had a big night as his 9-of-15 game had his shooting percentage nearly double what he’s provided lately.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball had 28 points (10-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and eight three-pointers in the Hornets’ 133-126 victory over the Hawks on Thursday.

Ball returned to the court after missing the last three games with a bone bruise in his left ankle. The 24-year-old point guard ended up having a great game with most of his damage coming in the first half. Ball started the game strong with 21 points, eight assists and seven three-pointers in the first half. He played 29 minutes as he wasn’t on a minutes limit Thursday. Ball and the Hornets will have Friday off before Saturday’s game against the Pistons.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball (ankle) is available for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

After missing Charlotte’s last three games with a bone bruise in his left ankle, Ball is officially available to play. His minutes will be restricted, so KJ Simpson won’t fall out of the rotation entirely. That said, there isn’t much to gain from holding onto Simpson if you’ve been streaming him. Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Ryan Kalkbrenner complete the starting lineup.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Ball’s upgraded status means he’ll likely take the court against Atlanta and return from a three-game absence. Ball should reclaim his starting spot, and there’s no reason to suspect that he’ll face a minutes restriction. KJ Simpson and Sion James will see reduced playing time with Ball’s return.
Pat Connaughton

CHA Guard #21

Pat Connaughton (calf) is out for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Connaughton has not appeared in a game since November 22. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the veteran wing is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.
Tre Mann

CHA Guard #23

Tre Mann (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Thursday’s game will be the seventh that Mann has missed since being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee. KJ Simpson should remain in the Hornets’ rotation in some capacity, with LaMelo Ball’s status being the determining factor. If Ball can play, Simpson will head back to the bench. He’ll start if Ball has to miss another game with his ankle injury.
Collin Sexton

CHA Guard #8

Collin Sexton (quad) is out for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Thursday’s game will be the fifth that Sexton has missed since straining his left quad. At a minimum, KJ Simpson should serve as the backup point guard if LaMelo Ball (ankle) is available. If Ball can’t play, Simpson would remain in the starting lineup.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball (ankle) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

Ball has missed Charlotte’s last three games with a bone bruise in his left ankle. With Collin Sexton and Tre Mann also out, the Hornets have turned to KJ Simpson to serve as the starting point guard. Sexton and Mann won’t be available on Thursday, so Simpson should remain in the rotation if Ball plays.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel exploded for 29 points (11-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 43 minutes, leading the Hornets to a 119-111 overtime win over the Cavaliers.

Knueppel continues to be the metaphorical straw that stirs the drink for the upstart Hornets as he stayed sizzling-hot with 27 points in regulation, finishing just shy of his second consecutive 30-point effort. The 20-year-old rookie delivered a sublime 33-point, nine-assist performance during Friday’s loss to the Bulls. He’s been a revelation this season for fantasy purposes, delivering sixth-round value through 26 games, averaging a crisp 19.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks. The Hornets will attempt to keep the momentum going when they square off against the Hawks on Thursday before closing out the week with a road tilt against the Pistons.
