Mason Plumlee

OKC Forward-Center #22

Thunder acquired Mason Plumlee in exchange for Ousmane Dieng.

Dieng has already been rerouted to Chicago. Plumlee will provide some depth down low, but he’s past his days of impacting fantasy basketball.
Mike Conley

CHA Guard

Mike Conley has been traded to the Hornets.

Conley was traded to Chicago on Tuesday, but reports indicated that he wouldn’t stick around. One day later, and he’s now in Charlotte. If he remains with the Hornets, he’ll provide a veteran presence in the locker room for a team that is trying to return to the postseason. That is good for Charlotte, but it doesn’t leave Conley with enough minutes for fantasy managers to consider him as an option.
Coby White

CHA Guard #0

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Hornets have acquired Coby White and Mike Conley in exchange for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks.

Numerous teams were interested in making a move for White, and Charlotte has won the sweepstakes. With Sexton heading to Chicago, White will likely fill out the sixth man role that Sexton previously occupied and should start when LaMelo Ball comes off the bench during back-to-backs. This isn’t an ideal landing spot for White from a fantasy perspective, though he should still play enough minutes to provide some value.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 24 points (8-of-20 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers in a 102-95 win over the Pelicans on Monday.

Ball took a hit to the face early in this game after both he and head coach Charles Lee went for a ball that was going out of bounds. Ball went to the locker room, but he was able to return and push Charlotte’s winning streak to seven games. Ball hasn’t been the only reason for Charlotte’s recent success, but he has only missed three games since November, which is a great development for him. They continue to manage his minutes, which has allowed him to stay available. That limits his impact in the box score, but he’s still able to be more productive that most players in limited action.
Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Grant Williams provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (5-of-7 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers on Monday against the Pelicans.

Williams has played a solid role off the bench since making his season debut on Jan. 10, but he hasn’t contributed much in the box score. However, he was able to have his first double-digit scoring outing of the season in this game. Williams isn’t a player to consider rostering in most leagues at this time, and he has never been a strong option in fantasy basketball throughout his career. However, considering he missed 14 months due to a torn ACL, it was good to see him play this well.
Ryan Kalkbrenner

CHA Center #11

Ryan Kalkbrenner finished with 10 points (3-of-5 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks against the Pelicans on Monday.

Kalkbrenner was the more impactful center for Charlotte early in the year, but recently, Moussa Diabaté has been starting and far more productive. However, that wasn’t the case in this game. Diabaté played 28 minutes to Kalkbrenner’s 18, but he only finished with two points, nine rebounds and two assists, while Kalkbrenner came close to a double-double and made an impact as a shot blocker. Kalkbrenner is a difficult player to use a roster spot on at this time, but it is good to see that he can still be productive in a limited role from time to time.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball briefly left Monday’s game with an eye laceration, but he is available to return, according to the Hornets PR official X.com account.

Though Ball’s injury appears to be minor, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his playing time for the rest of the game and check to see if he shows up on the injury report ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the Rockets.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

The NBA has moved up the start time of Monday’s game between the Pelicans and Hornets to 3 PM Eastern.

Inclement weather, which prevented the Spurs from getting back to Texas after losing on Saturday in Charlotte until mid-afternoon Sunday, is the reason for the time change. Fantasy managers with Pelicans or Hornets on their rosters will need to set their lineups a few hours earlier than they may have planned.
Josh Green

CHA Guard #10

Josh Green (thumb) is probable for Monday’s game against the Pelicans.

Green is dealing with a sprained right thumb, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Monday. That said, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.
Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14

Moussa Diabaté finished Saturday’s win over the Spurs with 12 points (6-of-9 FGs), 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots.

Facing countryman Victor Wembanyama, Diabaté held his own on Saturday. In addition to recording his third double-double in five games and 13th of the season, the Hornets’ forward/center’s six assists were a season-high. Rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Diabaté appears to have locked down the starting center job. Even with the Hornets playing three games in Week 16, now is the time to add Moussa if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.
