Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Questionable for Saturday
Diabate is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring soreness.
The hamstring issue is a new concern for Diabate, who has been a regular on the injury report so far this month due to hip and wrist injuries. If the big man is not cleared to play in the front end of this back-to-back set, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely step into the starting five, while PJ Hall could enter the Charlotte rotation.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Continues to come off bench
Kalkbrenner totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers.
After missing 10 straight games due to an elbow injury, Kalkbrenner returned to action in Utah on Jan. 10 and posted 12 points and nine rebounds in 23 minutes. However, over his past two appearances, the rookie center has totaled only 11 points and six rebounds in 28 minutes. It's unclear if Kalkbrenner is still managing an injury or if the Hornets are just being overly cautious. Either way, Moussa Diabate has been the more productive center for Charlotte in recent games.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Flirts with double-double
Bridges recorded 25 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 victory over the Lakers.
Bridges scored at least 25 points for the 10th time this season and finished two boards short of his seventh double-double. Since missing his first game of the season Dec. 31 against Golden State, Bridges has averaged 18.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 32.6 minutes per game over his past eight appearances.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Strong outing in convincing win
Ball registered 30 points (10-20 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one block in 29 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers.
Ball scored at least 30 points for the second time in four games and for only the fourth time all season. He also dished out double-digit assists for the first time since Dec. 18. Ball is averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals over his past 15 appearances, but he's playing only 26.8 minutes per game during that stretch.

Hornets' Josh Green: Scoreless in 14 minutes
Green provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 victory over the Lakers.
Green wasn't able to find the bottom of the net and remains miles off the fantasy radar in Charlotte. He's played just 16.5 minutes per contest over his last 11 outings and is shooting 37.8 percent from the field in that span.

Hornets' Sion James: Nearly double-doubles
James posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers.
Charlotte's starters all played big roles in this one, but James made the most of his limited workload off the bench, mostly on the rebounding front. He's been off the fantasy radar in most formats recently, as he's averaging 24.0 minutes over his last 11 outings with 5.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Strong line in win
Miller ended Thursday's 135-117 win over the Lakers with 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes.
Miller hasn't been able to shoot the ball efficiently most nights, but his counting stats have been terrific. Over his last 10 games, he has been hitting 42.0 percent from the field, averaging 21.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 2.9 three-pointers.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Questionable for Thursday
Sexton (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Sexton missed Monday's contest due to left hamstring soreness and is now questionable for Wednesday. The guard has delivered steady secondary scoring, reaching double figures in each of the past 10 games while averaging 14.4 points, 3.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds in that span.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Falls out of rotation
Salaun (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench Monday in the Hornets' 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
After being recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm in late November, Salaun had emerged as a regular part of the Charlotte rotation. From Dec. 1 through this past weekend, Salaun had appeared in 18 of 19 games and averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.9 assists in 18.6 minutes per contest, with his only absence during that stretch being the result of a sore left ankle. However, with Grant Williams now back to full health after missing the start of the season while recovering from knee surgery, the Hornets no longer appear to have room on the second unit for Salaun. If playing time continues to be hard to come by for the second-year forward over the next handful of games, Salaun could be sent back to Greensboro in order to pick up steady minutes.
