Rotoworld Player News

Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brandon Miller had 18 points (7-of-21 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers agains the Nets on Wednesday.

Miller had 18 points, but struggled with efficiency as he was 7-of-21 from the field and 3-of-14 from behind the three-point line. There will be better games in his future, but with Kon Knueppel and Coby White sidelined defenses will be continue to key on Miller.
Grayson Allen

CHA Guard #8

Grayson Allen had 21 points (6-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers against the Nets on Wednesday.

With Kon Knueppel (hamstring) sidelined, the Hornets need Sion James and Allen to pick up the slack. James started, but scored just three points in 26 minutes. Meanwhile, Allen had 21 points and five three-pointers in 28 minutes off the bench. Allen is the preferred streaming option while Knueppel is sidelined.
Naz Reid

CHA Center-Forward #0

Naz Reid had 20 points (8-of-18 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), 11 rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s 110-103 victory over the Nets.

Reid impressed in his first game with the Hornets. The 27-year-old big man led the team with 20 points, knocked down four three-pointers and was just three assists shy of a triple-double. That’ll play. Reid has never averaged more than 2.2 assists in a season, but the rest of his production is sustainable, making him a valuable player in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Charlotte Hornets start Dennis Schroeder, Sion James, Brandon Miller, Naz Reid, and Moussa Diabate in season opener against the Nets

The Hornets have Kon Knueppel and Coby White out, so Schroeder and now Sion James will get the start with Grayson Allen coming off the bench. Even in a start, Sion James is not a great per minute producer and will likely not impact many fantasy leagues even in a start.
Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Grant Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Nets on Wednesday.

Williams will remain sidelined after missing the preseason, but he has progressed to individual on-court work. Williams may return soon, but until then, Royce O’Neale will likely be tasked with the power forward minutes behind Naz Reid.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Nets on Wednesday.

Knueppel missed the preseason and will remain out for the season opener, though he has progressed to individual on-court work. Knueppel may return soon, but until then, Charlotte will turn to Grayson Allen and Sion James to fill the void, with Allen being the better streaming option for fantasy managers.
Coby White

CHA Guard #3

Coby White (calf) has been ruled out against the Nets.

White missed the preseason and will remain sidelined for at least the season opener. He has returned to doing individual on-court work, which is a sign he shouldn’t be far off from a return. Dennis Schröder should operate as the starting point guard in his place.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Hornets and Brandon Miller have agreed to a five-year, $209 million extension.

Miller’s future in Charlotte is set, as he’s agreed to a rookie-scale extension worth more than $40 million per year. With the offseason decision to trade LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, the franchise has moved forward with Miller and Kon Knueppel as cornerstones. Miller appeared in 65 games last season, averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 three-pointers per game.
Hannes Steinbach

CHA Forward-Center

Hannes Steinbach had 19 points (7-of-9 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds and three steals in Friday’s exhibition against the Grizzlies.

Steinbach came off the bench, but it was notable that he entered the game early in the first quarter for starter Ryan Kalkbrenner. Steinbach had the hot hand as he outscored Kalkbrenner 19-2 and played 28 minutes to Kalkbrenner’s 19. We could be seeing the beginning of Steinbach moving up in the Hornets’ big man rotation, though it’s also worth noting that Moussa Diabate didn’t play due to a right elbow injury.
Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün recorded 16 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, one assist and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Celtics.

Over two NBA seasons, Salaün has failed to secure a consistent role in Charlotte. The absences of Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams, both recovering from hamstring injuries, have created more opportunities for Salaün, who played well in Boston. However, one performance does not make him a player worth selecting in redraft leagues.
