Hornets' Nick Smith: Torches Spurs for 26 points
Smith contributed 26 points (9-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes during Friday's 145-134 win over the Spurs.
Smith's efficient 26 points established a new season high Friday, and he sunk six three-pointers off the bench. The 2023 first-rounder has taken on more usage in the absence of Brandon Miller (wrist), but Smith's shooting efficiency remains poor overall. Across his last 14 outings, Smith has averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes while shooting 37.7 percent from the field.

Hornets' Josh Green: Season-high 20 points in win
Green produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and four steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over San Antonio.
It was a season-high scoring output by Green, who also tied a season best with four steals during this high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old swingman is still averaging only 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes across his last 13 contests, so Green's fantasy appeal remains limited to swipes and treys in category-based settings despite Friday's outburst.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Hands out season-high 15 assists
Ball posted 27 points (9-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 145-134 victory over the Spurs.
Ball handed out a season-high 15 assists Friday, tallying his 11th double-double of the year. The star floor general should remain a high-end fantasy producer in all formats when available, although the rebuilding Hornets figure to monitor his workload in the final month of the season. Over his last 10 games, Ball has averaged 19.8 points, 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 30.5 minutes.

Hornets' Josh Green: Muted performance in loss
Green closed Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes.
Despite a healthy workload, Green wasn't able to make much of an impact on the stat sheet. He's been way too cold from the field to trust in most fantasy formats. Over his last 10 outings, Green has hit 26.9 percent from the field with averages of 4.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Notches career-high 20 points
Jeffries provided 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks.
Jeffries recorded a career-high 20 points in the loss, eclipsing 30 minutes for the second game in a row. Fantasy managers may need to see more performances like this before jumping onboard, as this was certainly an outlier. Over his last seven games, Jeffries holds averages of 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Posts massive line
Bridges finished Wednesday's 123-110 loss to Atlanta with 31 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 37 minutes.
Bridges recorded his 11th double-double of the season and matched his career-high mark of four blocks, something he's achieved three separate times. Bridges has been Charlotte's most consistent fantasy contributor, and he's on pace to return fourth-round value in nine-category formats with 21.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers.

Hornets' Jusuf Nurkic: Green light to play Wednesday
Nurkic (shin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Nurkic was listed on Tuesday's injury report as questionable due to a left shin contusion, but the issue isn't severe enough for him to miss Wednesday's game. The veteran center has averaged 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over 17.9 minutes per game in his nine outings (including four starts) with the Hornets this season.

Hornets' Marcus Garrett: Gets 10-day deal
Garrett signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets on Wednesday.
Garrett will be available for Wednesday's game in Atlanta and will join the 15-man roster as a replacement for Malachi Flynn, who wasn't re-signed after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday. After being cut by the Hornets in training camp, Garrett has appeared in 40 games for Charlotte's G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm. Over his 40 appearances for the Swarm, Garrett averaged 10.4 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest. He could get the chance to play backup minutes on the wing for Charlotte while he's under contracdt.

Hornets' Jusuf Nurkic: Questionable for Wednesday
Nurkic is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to a left shin contusion.
The left shin contusion is a new concern for Nurkic, who has missed time recently due to neck soreness and an illness. If the veteran big man is unable to suit up Wednesday, Moussa Diabate will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Mark Williams.

Hornets' Damion Baugh: Inactive in Tuesday's win
Baugh (coach's decision) was inactive Tuesday in the Hornets' 105-102 win over the Heat.
Baugh went from starting and playing 29 minutes in the Hornets' previous game Saturday versus the Nets to out of the rotation entirely two days later with LaMelo Ball (ankle) making his return to action. A two-way player, Baugh is eligible to be active for just eight of the Hornets' remaining 18 games, so Charlotte may look to have the 24-year-old suit up primarily on occasions that the team is shorthanded in the backcourt. Before sitting out Monday, Baugh had played in each of Charlotte's previous eight games, averaging 6.3 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.4 minutes per contest while shooting 27.4 percent from the field.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Double-doubles in return
Williams logged 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat.
Williams returned from a two-game absence due to a foot injury and not only recorded a double-double but filled the stat sheet admirably, notching at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Williams has been productive since his proposed trade to the Lakers got rescinded in early February. The big man is averaging 16.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Shines in win over Miami
Bridges closed Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat with 35 points (12-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 37 minutes.
Bridges delivered 26 points in the win over Brooklyn on Saturday and posted another impressive line Monday, carrying the Hornets to a second straight win and leaving their eight-game losing skid in the past. Bridges has been the Hornets' best player over that stretch, and the numbers back him up. His 46-point effort in the loss to the Cavaliers stands out, but the consistency has been noticeable, too. He's averaging 26.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks per game in 11 outings since the end of the All-Star break.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Poor shooting display Monday
Ball amassed 15 points (5-21 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat.
Ball returned from a one-game absence after sitting out the win over the Nets on Saturday, the second leg of a back-to-back set. While he posted a solid line in this win, he wasn't efficient with his shot. That has been a persistent issue throughout Ball's career, and while it gets overlooked due to how much value he brings to the table in other areas, it's becoming a very complicated trend of late. In five outings since the beginning of March, Ball is averaging 20.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, but he's also shooting 34.3 percent from the floor and 11.2 percent from three-point range.

Hornets' Jusuf Nurkic: Good to go vs. Heat
Nurkic (neck) will play Monday against Miami.
Nurkic was trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since confirmed that he'll be available following a one-game absence. He's averaging 7.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last eight games.
