Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Grant Williams (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Nets.

Williams is good to go after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Sion James and Josh Green are likely to see their minutes decrease with Williams back in the rotation.
Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2

Grant Williams (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Williams’ absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes among the Hornets’ reserves. Sion James and Josh Green could see their minutes increase, and there may be room on the back end of the rotation for Pat Connaughton.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball recorded 20 points (7-of-26 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

Ball had an opportunity to tie Saturday’s game in the final seconds, but his three-point attempt fell short of the mark. The Hornets’ point guard did not shoot the ball well, but the good news was that he kept the turnovers in check, which was not always the case in the past. Ball committed just two turnovers against the 76ers, and the assists and three-pointers were certainly useful to fantasy managers. Ball will look to clean up the shooting when the Hornets host the Celtics on Sunday.
Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14

Moussa Diabaté finished Saturday’s loss to the 76ers with 10 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Diabaté has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, with the exception being Friday’s blowout win over the Knicks. The Hornets’ center, who’s rostered in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, has been close to a top-75 player since the All-Star break, according to Basketball Monster. With the Hornets hosting the Celtics on Sunday and then playing four games in Week 23, managers in 12-team leagues where Diabaté is still on the waiver wire should seriously consider adding him.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller tallied 29 points (8-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds and five three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

While he did not record any assists or defensive stats, Miller had a nice afternoon as a scorer and rebounder. The 29 points were the most he’s scored in a game in over a month, having tallied 33 in a February 26 win over the Pacers. Since the All-Star break, Miller has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Hornets play once more in Week 22, as they host the Celtics on Sunday.
Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün (calf) has been ruled out against the 76ers on Saturday.

Salaün has been sidelined for over three weeks, and there is no timeline for when he will return. Regardless, he isn’t going to play much of a role when healthy, so his continued absence won’t alter the Hornets’ rotation.
Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24

Brandon Miller accounted for 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Knicks.

Miller has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four games, including Thursday’s win over the Knicks. While he didn’t record any defensive stats, the third-year wing has averaged just over one steal per game since the All-Star break. The Hornets have been a much-improved team since January 1, with Miller’s continued growth being one reason for the resurgence.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

LaMelo Ball finished Thursday’s win over the Knicks with 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers.

Ball’s improvement as a point guard is one of the reasons the Hornets still have a chance to avoid the play-in tournament altogether. He committed just one turnover against the Knicks and shot 50 percent from the field. And since the All-Star break, Ball has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. The version of LaMelo that fantasy managers have seen in 2026 is the one they’ve been hoping to see for years.
Kon Knueppel

CHA Guard-Forward #7

Kon Knueppel amassed 26 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists and six three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Knicks.

Knueppel and the Hornets have won their last five games, all by double digits. The Rookie of the Year candidate shot 6-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Knicks and finished two assists shy of his first career triple-double. Knueppel’s production throughout the season has been a great development for fantasy managers and the Hornets, both for this season and the future. The Hornets end their week on Sunday against the Celtics.
Pat Connaughton

CHA Guard #21

Pat Connaughton (illness) is available for Thursday’s game against the Knicks, and Liam McNeeley (illness) is out.

Neither player’s status affects fantasy basketball, but Connaughton could slide into the back end of the Hornets’ rotation. That was unlikely to be the case for McNeeley.
